SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding

Required. Never attempt to repair or perform

maintenance on the unit until the electricity has

been disconnected.

Never remove the round grounding prong from

the plug and never use a two-prong grounding

adapter.

Altering, cutting or removing power cord,

removing power plug, or direct wiring can cause

serious injury, fire, loss of property and/or life,

and will void the warranty.

u-line.com

Never use an extension cord to connect power to

the unit.

Water Hookup

PREPARE PLUMBING

The water valve uses a standard 1/4" (6.35 mm)

compression fitting. U-Line recommends using accessory

water hook up kit – part # 80-54674-00. The kit includes a

10' (3 m) braided flexible water supply line and a brass

hose fitting.

CAUTION

!

Plumbing installation must observe all state and

local codes. All water and drain connections

MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing

contractor. Failure to follow recommendations

and instructions may result in damage and/or

harm.

Water Supply Connection

CAUTION

!

Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line

is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack

or rupture with age and cause damage to your

home.

Do not use tape or joint compound when

attaching a braided flexible water supply line

that includes a rubber gasket. The gasket

provides an adequate seal – other materials

could cause blockage of the valve.

Failure to follow recommendations and

instructions may result in damage and/or harm,

flooding or void the product warranty.

Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.

When connecting the water supply, please note the

following:

• Before installing the unit and connecting to the cold

water supply, review the local plumbing codes.

• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi

(138 and 827 kPa).

• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the

supply line.

• The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will

allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing.

Make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged

during installation.

WARNING

!

CAUTION

!

Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical

supply to unit prior to installation.

Use caution when handling back panel. The

edges could be sharp.

1. Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply

to product prior to attempting installation.

Integrated Panel Dimensions

INTEGRATED PANEL

Due to differences in surrounding cabinetry the

panel may not perfectly align with door. The

procedure below is designed to provide a

finished integrated panel that seamlessly

integrates with surrounding cabinetry.

The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs

(10 kg).

It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are

drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid

splits in the wood when hardware is installed.

When applying an integrated panel to a unit,

ensure that both sides are finished in order to

prevent warping. In some panel installations,

the panel may be visible through the glass while

the door is open.

2. Optional: Stain or Finish panel to desired stain or color.

Be sure to closely follow the instructions provided by

the manufacturer.

3. Optional: Install handles and hardware.

Integrated Panel Dimensions

A full integrated door panel completely covers the door

frame and provides a built-in appearance.

Ice

ICE MAKER OPERATION

When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will

shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue

to cool and maintain the ice supply.

Do not place cans or bottles in the ice

compartment because they will freeze.

To turn off ice production: Raise the bin arm into

an upright and locked position. The unit will preserve

temperature for ice storage.

CAUTION

!

NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp

instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice

bucket instead.

During periods of limited use or high ambient

temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together.

Gently shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If not using

the ice maker regularly, empty the ice bucket periodically

to ensure fresh cubes.

It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. The cause is air

trapped in the water because of fast freezing. It is not

caused by the health, taste or chemical make up of the

water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you

drink.

Remove the ice bucket for emptying and cleaning. To

remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the

bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for

ice storage only.

If not intending to use the ice maker, turn the

water supply valve off. It is also important to

raise the bin arm of the ice maker (see above).

Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage

to the water valve.

Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You

may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve,

or ice dropping into the ice bucket.

cleaner.

Stainless Models

Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor

when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater

or cleaners with bleach.

Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a

good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish

monthly. For best results use Claire

Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.

Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that

could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning

weekly.

Stainless Steel

If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it

quickly with Bon-Ami

and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain.

Always finish with Claire

Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further

problems.

Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.

Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.

Integrated Models

To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the

cabinet manufacturer’s recommendation.

INTERIOR CLEANING

Disconnect power to the unit.

Clean the interior and all removed components using a

mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution

applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.

Troubleshooting

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

If you think your U-Line product is malfunctioning, read

the CONTROL OPERATION section to clearly understand

the function of the control.

If the problem persists, read the NORMAL OPERATING

SOUNDS and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE sections below

to help you quickly identify common problems and

possible causes and remedies. Most often, this will resolve

the problem without the need to call for service.

IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED

If you do not understand a troubleshooting remedy, or

your product needs service, contact U-Line Corporation

directly at +1.800.779.2547.

When you call, you will need your product Model and

Serial Numbers. This information appears on the Model

and Serial number plate located on the upper right or rear

wall of the interior of your product.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to

provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound

reduction for its internal working components. Despite this

technology, your model may make sounds that are

unfamiliar.

Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because

of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets,

wood, vinyl or tiled floors and paneled walls have a

tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.

Listed below are common refrigeration components with a

brief description of the normal operating sounds they

make. NOTE: Your product may not contain all the

components listed.

• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing

sound that may be heard when it operates.

• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator

may sound like boiling liquid.

• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may

be heard.

• Automatic Defrost Drain Pan: Water may be heard

dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is

in the defrost cycle.

• Ambient temperature where installed.

• Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.

• The number of door openings and the time the door is

open.

• The time the internal light is illuminated. (This mainly

affects product on the top rack or shelf.)

• Obstruction of front grille or condenser.

To check the actual product temperature in the
unit:

1. Partially fill a plastic (nonbreakable) bottle with water.

2. Insert an accurate thermometer.

The main control board is very robust and is rarely the

cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose

the board for any suspected failures before attempting to

remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the

guidelines below to fully test and diagnose the main

control.

Power Fault

If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the

flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before

beginning it is important to first verify the unit is not

simply set to sabbath mode.

Frequently toggling the compressor relay could

force the compressor into overload. The

compressor will automatically deactivate during

an overload and will remain deactivated until the

overload switch cools. This could take some

time. It is important to allow the compressor at

least 5 minutes off time between relay cycles.

2. Toggle the relay. Its related component should

activate / deactivate with the switching of the relay. If

it does not, test component.

Other Suspected Main Control Faults

If other components have been ruled out as being faulty

but the unit continues to have operating issues, it is most

likely due to a configuration error. Configuration errors

can be cleared by restoring the unit to its factory default

setting. Factory defaults may be restored through the

service menu.

Testing The Main Control

If the main control is suspected of being faulty, the

following procedure should be performed to verify main

control for functionality.

Relay & DC Outputs

One of the primary functions of the main control is to

operate the multiple relay and DC outputs during each

cycle. Verify proper operation of these relays using the

following procedure.

1. Enter “Relay Toggle” through the service menu.

CAUTION

!

Precautions must be taken while working with

live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow

proper safety procedures while performing tests

on live systems.

THERMISTORS

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.

Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a

resistance which varies based on surrounding

temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may

be tested using an accurate ohmmeter. In an ice water

bath (32°F) resistance should measure 16.1 kilohms.

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistor

If the zone thermistor fails, the unit will continue to

operate in a timed limp mode for 10 minutes on and 45

minutes off. The unit will otherwise operate normally. The

error will be displayed in the error log.

Evaporator Thermistor

If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a

preset defrost time during defrost cycles. The unit will

otherwise operate normally. Evaporator thermistor errors

will be displayed in the error log.

Always assure that all thermistor connections are clean

and dry. Whenever opening a thermistor connection be

sure to apply a fresh dab of die electric grease.

REED SWITCH

A reed switch is used to monitor door state. When the

door is closed magnetic force pulls the reed to its contact

and closes the circuit which turns the light and display off.

When the door is open the reed pulls away from the

contact and opens the circuit. If the door is left open for

longer than 5 minutes, the switch will trigger an error code

and set an audible warning.

VIEWING ACTUAL TEMPERATURE

In viewing temperature in these modes any offsets are
taken into account. This means that if you place a therm-
istor in a known temperature, let’s say ice water, it may
not read the 32°F that you would assume. If the control
offset was preset at -3°F while you placed the thermistor
in an icebath, the actual thermistor reading when viewing
actual temperature would read 35°F . In the unit this would
cause the cabinet to push itself 3° cooler. To view pure
thermistor readings you must go into the service menu
and choose the correct option.

T o view the thermistor temperature, push and release the
up and down keys. The display will show the corr ected
refrigerator temperature.

When the degree symbol is flashing the unit will allow the
use of the control for demonstrations. The unit can be left
in this mode indefinitely.

changing a setting, you must press the LIGHT key again
to retain the changed setting. T o exit the service mode
scroll to option “0” and press the LIGHT key. After five
minutes of not touching any keys the mode will also exit
automatically.

Thermistors

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.

Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a

resistance which varies based on surrounding

temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may

be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.

Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is

suspected of being defective, the resistance can be

verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the

resistance should read 16.1k OHMs +/-5% on your meter.

Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor

connection that has become corroded can cause

resistance values from the thermistor to change as they

pass through a dirty connection to the board.

It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of

our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to

keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply

dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a

dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the

thermistor and the thermistor harness.

Thermistor error information can be found in the Control

Operations - Service section.

This unit has three thermistors.

Thermistor one (Zone):

Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to

maintain the operating temperature within that zone.

Thermistor two (Evaporator):

Located on the evaporator. It is used for defrost.

Thermistor three (Ice Maker):

Located in the ice maker. It is used to initiate the harvest

mode.

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistor

If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will

continue to cool in a backup mode (Self Preservation

Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit

will otherwise operate normally.

1000 Series Self Preservation Mode:

The unit will cycle on for 10 minutes then off for 40

minutes.

Evaporator Thermistor

If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a

preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will

otherwise operate normally. Refer to defrost section.

Ice Maker Thermistor

If the ice maker thermistor fails, the ice maker will not

operate. The associated error will be documented in the

service mode, “Error Log.”
