Possible Causes
Fan motor not starting, Fan blade obstructed, Fan motor capacitor failed, Fan speed feedback sensor fault (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the fan or internal components.
Steps to resolve E8:
- Check for obstructions: Remove the front grille and visually inspect the blower wheel and fan blades. Remove any foreign objects.
- Spin test: Gently spin the fan by hand (with power disconnected). It should rotate freely without grinding or binding.
- Clean fan and housing: Vacuum dust buildup from the fan blades and surrounding housing.
- Inspect wiring: Locate the fan motor connector on the control board and ensure it is secure.
If the fan does not run when powered or E8 persists, the fan motor or its capacitor may be defective and should be replaced.
