F8E8 at a glance

  • The refrigerator shows F8E8 and blinks the letter F; the guidance is a plain power cycle.
  • The listing speaks to refrigerators with the freezer at the bottom.
  • The source offers a reset for F8E8 without naming what sets it off.

Resetting the refrigerator

  1. Turn off the circuit that feeds the refrigerator, or take its plug out, and let it rest for one minute.
  2. When the time is up, reconnect the refrigerator to power.
  3. Make sure the cooling function is on.
  4. Stay with it for sixty seconds, watching for the code.

If nothing changes, line up a technician visit.
