How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before inspecting internal wiring or the control board.
Steps:
- 1. Check mains connection: Ensure the plug is fully inserted and the outlet is not loose. Avoid multi-way adapters.
- 2. Inspect power cord and terminal block: Look for signs of overheating or loose screws at the terminal block (if accessible).
- 3. Control board inspection: Remove the control cover and look for cracked solder joints or burnt components. If present, replace the board.
- 4. Harness check: Gently tug on harnesses to ensure they are secure. Look for chafed insulation where wires pass through metal.
- 5. Professional repair: If F8 persists, the internal power supply is likely unstable and the main board should be replaced by a technician.
