Display shows E8 and the condenser fan at the rear may not run; compressor may overheat and shut down.

Safety first: Unplug the cooler before removing the rear panel. The condenser fan is near live electrical components.

• Access condenser fan: Remove the rear lower service panel to expose the compressor, condenser coil, and condenser fan.
• Inspect for debris: Check the fan blades for dust, plastic wrap, or insulation blocking movement. Clean with a soft brush and vacuum.
• Check wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is fully seated on the motor and on the main control board. Look for damaged or pinched wires.
• Manual spin test: Gently spin the fan by hand. If it feels stiff, gritty, or does not spin freely, the motor is likely failing.
• Replace fan motor if needed: Order a "Phiestina condenser fan motor". Remove mounting screws, disconnect the old motor, and install the new one, ensuring the fan blade is oriented correctly for airflow through the condenser coil.
• Clean condenser coil: While the panel is off, vacuum dust from the condenser coil to improve cooling efficiency.
• Reassemble and test: Reinstall the rear panel, plug the unit back in, and verify that the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on and that the E8 code is cleared.
