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.

• 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

Turn off light switch if equipped.
Check reed switch.

Unit Develops 

Frost on 

Internal

Frost on the rear wall is normal and will melt 

during each off cycle. 
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" or more, 

manually defrost the unit. 
Ensure the door is closing and sealing 

properly. 
High ambient temperature and excessive 

humidity can also produce frost. 

Unit Develops 

Condensation 

on External 

Surfaces.

The unit is exposed to excessive humidity. 

Moisture will dissipate as humidity levels 

decrease.

Product Is 

Freezing.

Because product in contact with the rear wall 

may freeze, ensure no product is touching the 

rear wall.
Adjust the temperature to a warmer set point.
