Code 8 lists the evaporator sensor again. A freezer sensor shows as code 5.
How to recognise it
Nothing appears as text. Beeps in a count or a binary flash sequence on the LEDs is how the fridge says 7. Muting stops the noise only; the sensor still requires a service technician.
Before you call
Write down the beep count or the LED sequence you noticed so the number can be confirmed.
