U-Line CLR2060 Two Flashes: Open Thermistor or Machine Too Warm
Two LED flashes on a U-Line CLR2060 point to a thermistor circuit that is open or to a machine running too warm. Three flashes point to both at once, and only removing power clears them.
What does U-Line ice machine code CLR2060 two flashes mean?
Two blinks of the board LED on a U-Line CLR2060 clear ice machine, which has the first-generation Echelon board, point to one of two situations: the thermistor circuit is open, or the machine runs warmer than the board will accept. When both are true, the LED blinks three times. Ice making stops. Pressing the ON/OFF/CLN switch will not clear the pattern; only removing power does.

How the ice machine detects CLR2060 two flashes
The first-generation Echelon board in the CLR2060 reads a thermistor, a small temperature sensor, to know how cold the machine is running. The board expects a reading within a sensible range. If the sensor circuit is open, or if the machine is so warm that the reading falls outside that range, the board reacts.
It shows the problem through the LED. Two flashes mean the open thermistor or the too-warm reading. When both conditions are present at once, the LED flashes three times. The board then stops ice making and holds the code. Pressing the ON/OFF/CLN switch does nothing for these codes, and only a power interruption lets the board clear them and check again. If the machine has simply been too warm, a restart with better airflow can let it run normally. If the thermistor is open, the pattern returns once the board reads the sensor again.
Likely causes of CLR2060 two flashes
- The thermistor circuit is open
- The machine runs warmer than the board will accept
- Both together, which the board shows as three flashes
Can you keep using the ice machine with CLR2060 two flashes?
Do not keep using it while the LED flashes, since ice making has stopped anyway. A warm room or blocked vents can trigger this, so clear the grille and give the machine room to breathe, then restart it by interrupting power. If the flashes come back, switch the machine off and leave it unplugged until it can be tested. Running it hot only stresses it further.
What you can safely check
- Switch the machine off at the plug or the breaker and let it rest before cleaning around it.
- Look at the space around the machine and the temperature of the room.
- Clean the grille and the vents.
- Leave power off for a minute; pressing ON/OFF/CLN will not reset this.
- Restore power and watch the LED.
- Two or three blinks again means you should contact us.
What our technician does for CLR2060 two flashes
- Test the thermistor with a meter for an open circuit
- Check airflow and cooling so the machine does not run warm
- Replace the thermistor if it tested open
- Confirm the LED stays steady after power returns
How to keep CLR2060 two flashes from coming back
- Keep at least a clear gap around the grille and vents so air moves freely.
- Do not squeeze the machine into a closed cabinet without ventilation.
- In hot garages and on lanais, shade the machine so room heat does not push it out of range.

CLR2060 two flashes questions
Will the ON/OFF/CLN switch reset this?
No. Two flashes or three flashes clear only when power is removed. Unplug it for a minute or turn off the breaker, then restore power.
What are three flashes telling me?
Three flashes means both conditions are present: the thermistor circuit is open, and the machine is also running warm. They are tested one at a time.
What happens at a service visit?
We test the thermistor, check the airflow and cooling, repair what we find and confirm the LED stays steady. You see a written price first, and the repair carries a 30-day warranty.
Are two and three flashes the same problem?
They overlap. Two flashes point to one of the conditions, and three flashes mean the thermistor and the warm reading are both present. We test the thermistor and the cooling separately to find out which parts need work.
Can the machine fix itself once it cools down?
Not without help. The board holds the code until power is interrupted. After a power interruption, a machine that was only too warm can run normally again, while an open thermistor makes the flashes return.
