Error E08 displayed; compressor does not start or cycles off quickly, temperatures rise in all compartments.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the compressor area. Only qualified technicians should handle sealed system components or refrigerant.

Step 1 – Basic checks:

• Ensure the unit has proper ventilation and the condenser is clean to avoid overheating.
• Verify that the mains voltage is within the specified range.

Step 2 – Listen for compressor behavior:

• After restoring power, listen for clicking sounds from the compressor area (start attempts) followed by silence; this suggests start device or compressor issues.

Step 3 – Inspect start components (if accessible):

• Remove the compressor terminal cover and inspect the start relay/PTC and overload protector for burn marks or loose connections.
• Replace the start device with a Fhiaba-approved part if visibly damaged.

Step 4 – Inverter systems:

• If your Fhiaba uses an inverter-driven compressor, the inverter board mounted near the compressor may be faulty.
• Technicians can test input and output voltages and replace the inverter module if needed.

Important: If E08 persists after start device or inverter replacement, the compressor itself may be defective. Compressor and sealed system repairs require specialized tools and must be performed by an authorized service provider.
