Bosch B36FD50SNS 36 in 500 Series French Door with Quick IcePro E8 Error Fix: Ice Maker Fault

Error code E8 on the Bosch B36FD50SNS 36 in 500 Series French Door with Quick IcePro means: Ice Maker Fault. The ice maker system has detected a fault. The ice maker motor/module is not advancing through the harvest cycle. Check the water supply line to the ice maker — ensure the supply valve is open and the line is not kinked or frozen. Verify the fill valve operation by running a manual harvest cycle. Check the ice maker mold thermistor — it signals when the ice is frozen. The ice maker module may need replacement. Note: this code may also appear when the ice bin is full, which is a normal condition, not a fault.
