Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before removing the control panel or display.
Access the display panel:
- On many Finlux refrigerators, the display is located on the front door or inside the fridge at the top.
- Carefully unclip or unscrew the trim to expose the display PCB.
Inspect connections:
- Locate the ribbon cable or harness connecting the display to the main control.
- Unplug and replug the connector to clean contacts. Look for corrosion or bent pins.
- Check the display PCB for signs of moisture damage or burnt components.
Power reset:
- After reseating connectors, reassemble the panel, plug the fridge back in, and see if E8 clears.
Replace if necessary: If the display remains erratic or dead, replace the display PCB with a Finlux-compatible module. Ensure correct model number and firmware version.
Note: If a new display does not resolve E8, the main control PCB or wiring harness may be at fault and should be checked by a professional.
