Samsung refrigerator error code 8E - Samsung RS265TDRS Side by Side Refrigerator

You have a defective sensor or the main board is defective. Will take a service call

This error code means the ice maker sensor is bad. On Samsung the sensor is part of the actual ice maker which you can find here.


Ice Maker For Samsung Refrigerator Model RF323TEDBSR

Sanmsung 8E error code means there is a connection issue with the main board lower wiring harness. Do not buy anything. Do this first. Open the back and check all the cables and terminals. Even if you just disconnect them and reconnect them. You may have to put the washer on its back to gain access to the bottom too. If you do not find anything, check all the cables with a multimeter. Took me 30 minutes to fix as a terminal had come off. The harness is a little too short so when you put a big load in the larger drum movement eventually breaks or pulls a wire loose. If you are unsuccessful, buy a new lower wiring harness.

Did it make any sounds or have any ice build up in the refrigerator compartment with that code. It's either your evap fan or defrost sensor

Most like it is a defrost sensor error in the FF section. On the back of your refrigerator there should be a schematic of what happens when there is an error...normal when performing the self test and all is ok is a reading of 88 88 Different parts of the 8 will blink depicting the error. For 88 88...if the last 8 is blinking the sections on the right side of the eight it looks like an E...but it is not.,..it is blinking an R1 b, or R1 c error. Looking at the chart R1 b is Sensor System in FF Compartment Errors, and R1c is Defrost Sensor Error in FF Compartment Errors.

I hope this clears things up as I see a lot of people say there panel is flashing 88 8Y, or 88 8E when actually it is just different parts of the 8 blinking.

an 8E or 8E2 means - Sensor problem.

OVER CURRENT ERROR - Display shows 8E.IPM fault signal (this is caused by the overload of the MICOM INTO during motor action).
IPM: Integrated power module. The IPM controls the motor.
If the fault (low signal) happens to be sensed even once during the washing/rinsing stage, the motor stops immediately. However, during the dehydrating stage the signal is to be sensed, when the number of signals reads more than 6 per 500ms during the Washing or Rinsing cycle action.
If the motor stops working, in one direction ten times, "8E" Error is displayed.
During dehydrating, when the overload is sensed, the motor stops working at once and then feeds back to the initial stage of the dehydration unbalance sensing. When the feed back has occcurred twice, Error "8E" is displayed during the dehydrating unbalance sensing, No error happens by overload sensing. When it happens at more than 800rpm, the process is stopped compulsorily. Power Switch OFF can clear the overload error.

HOWEVER, the UK White goods website says:

E8
Temp too high on low temp washesNormally this will be the wash temperature thermistor or NTC that's faulty, please contact us if you need the thermistor with the model and serial number.
