Appliance

U-Line ice machine

Applies to

U-Line ice makers using the CLR2060 control board

Type

Stop using it until checked

Can you clear it yourself?

No, stop using it until it is checked

Most likely cause

An overflow or drain problem that trips the protection circuit

What you may notice with CLR2060 three flashes

• A light on the CLR2060 board blinks three times in a group
• Water is on the floor or in the cabinet base
• The unit has stopped making ice
• The pump may sound strange or not run

How the ice machine detects CLR2060 three flashes

The CLR2060 board watches an overflow protection circuit, which is a safeguard against water rising where it should not. While the circuit reads normal, the unit goes about its water and freeze cycles. When the circuit reads open, the board assumes water may not be going where it should.

The board also reads a thermistor to follow temperature. When it finds a failed thermistor at the same time as the open overflow circuit, it signals both with three flashes. Because it cannot confirm the water level or the temperature, it treats the situation cautiously. A pump circuit problem is one of the listed causes, which fits a board that watches the same circuit that moves water.

Likely causes of CLR2060 three flashes

• An overflow or drain problem that trips the protection circuit
• A thermistor that has failed
• A pump circuit problem on the CLR2060 board

Can you keep using the ice machine with CLR2060 three flashes?

No. Turn the ice maker off, shut the water valve and leave it off until a technician has checked it. The code involves overflow protection, so running the unit could let water escape and damage floors or cabinets. If you smell something hot or see water near electrical parts, switch off the breaker too.

What you can safely check

1. Turn the ice maker off right away, unplug it or switch off the breaker, and close the water supply valve.
2. Look at the floor and the cabinet base for water, and mop up any you find.
3. Check that the drain line is not kinked or crushed where you can see it, without moving the unit.
4. Leave the unit off.
5. Call us and tell us you see three flashes on the CLR2060 board, and whether any water has escaped.

What our technician does for CLR2060 three flashes

• Check the overflow protection circuit and the drain path
• Test the thermistor on the CLR2060 board circuit
• Inspect the pump circuit and its wiring

How to keep CLR2060 three flashes from coming back

• Make sure the drain line runs without kinks or sags
• Keep the area under the unit clear so a leak is easy to spot
• Do not run the unit if you see standing water around it
• Have the water supply connection checked if you notice slow drips
