Before Calling for Service

If you think your U-Line product is malfunctioning, read the 
OPERATION section of this guide to understand clearly the 
function of the control. 

If the problem persists, read the NORMAL OPERATING 
SOUNDS and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section of this guide 
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. 
Contact information appears on the rear cover of this guide.

When you call, you will need your product Model and Serial 
Numbers. This information can be recorded inside the front cover 
of this guide. It also appears on the Model and Serial number plate 
located on the upper right or rear wall of the interior of your 
product. 

Replacement Parts

When you need replacement parts, always request genuine U-Line 
replacements. U-Line designs and engineers products using 
components that work efficiently, and provide superior service life 
and performance. The use of aftermarket parts or components 
may affect the safety, operation, performance or durability of your 
product, and may also void its warranty.

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 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.

Troubleshooting Guide

DANGER

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD. Never attempt to repair or 
perform maintenance on the unit until disconnecting the
