Troubleshooting

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 your product needs service, please go to              
www.u-line.com/servicers/ and navigate to the

 Find a 

Servicer

 page to locate a U-Line Authorized servicer. Please 

make sure to register it at 
www.U-Line.com/u-lineregistration. If you have any 
issues following this process you can contact the U-Line 
Corporation by phone at +1.414.354.0300; 

please make 

sure

 you have your product Model 

and

 Serial Numbers 

handy; They can can be found on the Serial number plate 
located within the interior of your product, most often 
placed on the ceiling.

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.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
