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 +

1.414.354.0300

.

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.

• Running Water: As your unit continues to produce ice

you will hear water flowing into the collection chambers
and running over the evaporator.
