What E8 means
Code E8 shows on the ASKO WCN311942G three-zone wine climate cabinet with the touch display. It means the user interface electronics, which is the touch screen you press, and the power board, which runs the cooling, are no longer exchanging information the way they should. You see a pop-up on the screen. Because the display and the cooling side are not in step, temperature settings may not reach the cabinet. These same characters mean something different on ASKO washers and dryers, so only wine cabinet owners should use this page.
Common causes of E8
- The cable connection between the touch display and the power board
- The touch display electronics
- The power board
- A short electrical disturbance that left the two boards out of step
1. Touch X or Confirm to clear the message from the screen. 2. Keep using the cabinet normally. The owner's manual says the message returns after 3 hours if the problem is still there. 3. Write down the time it returns and whether all three zones still feel cool, so we can start from that. 4. Keep door openings to a minimum while you wait, since the bottles are relying on the cooling side alone.
- A pop-up that comes back tells us the link is still interrupted, but not whether the display or the board is behind it.
- We test the connection and both boards before we suggest any part.
- You get a written price before work starts, and our repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Other Wine Cabinet codes
Is my wine safe when E8 is showing?
The cabinet may keep cooling while the display reports the problem, but we cannot promise the zones hold their settings. Check the temperature of each zone by hand and keep the door closed until we look at it.
Will the pop-up go away by itself?
Dismissing it with X or Confirm clears it for the moment. If the link is still broken, it appears again after about 3 hours, which is the sign the cause is still present.
Does E8 on my washer mean the same thing?
No. On ASKO washers and dryers the same characters point to different circuits. This page applies only to the three-zone wine cabinet, so the washer steps do not carry over.
Still seeing E8?
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
