Display shows E8 and the interior light or display backlight may not function correctly.

Disconnect power before working on lighting circuits.

• Check basic operation: Open and close the door to see if the interior LED light attempts to turn on. Note any flickering or dim operation.
• Inspect LED strip: Locate the interior LED light strip (often mounted along the side wall or top). Look for burn marks, discoloration, or physical damage.
• Check wiring: Follow the light harness to its connector. Ensure it is firmly plugged into the main board or intermediate connector.
• Test with a known-good strip (if available): If you have access to a compatible LED strip, temporarily connect it to see if E8 clears and lighting returns.
• Replace faulty components: If the strip is visibly damaged or fails to light, replace it with a hOmeLabs LED light strip assembly. If multiple strips test bad, the LED driver on the main board may be faulty and the main control board may need replacement.
• Reassemble and test: After replacement, restore power and verify that E8 is cleared and lighting works normally.

Note: Avoid touching LED contacts with bare hands to reduce corrosion risk.
