As I say it’s the freezer thermistor which the error code indicates – the fridge is working fine and the fridge temperature is at its normal level. It’s the freezer which doesn’t give a temperature readout once it drops below room temperature, but instead get the error code E8. Anyway I tested the two freezer thermistors, both the green and the yellow and they seem to work fine – although I don’t have the exact values, the resistance varies in exposure to room temperature, warm water and a working freezer within a reasonable range, and give exactly the same values as each other. Anyone who’s had this E8 code with an otherwise functional fridge freezer, would be interested to hear what it might be. Cheers
Thanks. There are two thermistors in the back of the freezer, one with a yellow connector (the one linked for sale) and one with a green connector. I’m not sure which one the error refers to – E8 means ‘Evaporator Thermistor short circuit’. However, most people who have this error find that their freezer is working fine, but not blowing cold air into the fridge. If anyone’s had experience of what I’m describing I would be interested to hear about it. As both the fridge and freezer are functioning I could just let it be, but as the freezer doesn’t seem to be able to ascertain its own temperature it means it might just be on maximum freeze constantly. Also would be useful if anyone knows the resistance levels these thermistors should be at (I’m going to measure them at room temp and with cups of cold/warm water). Cheers
