U-Line Echelon 2000 Display Shows Ice / Off scrolling with SP
A scrolling SP, Ice, Off message on a U-Line Echelon 2000 means Ice Maker Off mode is switched on, so the ice maker is idle on purpose rather than failing. Pressing ON/OFF and then the up arrow three times changes the mode.
What does U-Line ice machine code Ice / Off scrolling with SP mean?
Certain U-Line Echelon 2000 units that use the 2010 control come with a built-in ice maker: the CO2175F, the CLRCO2175 and the CO2175DWR. On these three, a display that scrolls SP, Ice, Off tells you Ice Maker Off mode is active. It is a status message, not a warning about damage, and no ice is made while it shows. Press ON/OFF, then tap the up arrow three times, and the mode changes. Echelon 2000 units without an ice maker have no such mode.

How the ice machine detects Ice / Off scrolling with SP
The 2010 control on these Echelon 2000 models keeps track of whether the ice maker is allowed to run. When Ice Maker Off mode is on, the ice maker is held idle and the display scrolls SP, Ice, Off so the state is obvious. Nothing is sensed or measured here. This is the control reporting a setting that someone selected, and it is not tied to a temperature or to a part in trouble.
The mode is entered and left from the keypad. ON/OFF followed by three presses of the up arrow switches it, which is why the message can appear after the keys are pressed in that order by accident. Once the mode is off, the display returns to the set point and ice making resumes.
Why Ice / Off scrolling with SP appears
- Ice Maker Off mode was switched on from the keypad
- The ON/OFF key and the up arrow were pressed in that order by accident
Can you keep using the ice machine with Ice / Off scrolling with SP?
Yes. This message is a setting, not a danger, and the rest of the unit carries on as usual. The only thing you give up while it shows is ice, because the ice maker stays idle until the mode is switched off. Change the mode when you want ice again. If the message will not go away after you press the keys correctly, a technician can check the keypad and the control.
What you can safely check
- Nothing needs unplugging for this message, so simply stand at the unit and read the display without opening anything.
- Confirm it scrolls SP, Ice, Off.
- Press ON/OFF, then press the up arrow three times.
- Let the display settle back to showing the set point.
- Allow several hours for ice to build up in the bin.

Ice / Off scrolling with SP questions
Is Ice Off scrolling a sign that something broke?
No. It is a status message telling you Ice Maker Off mode is on, and nothing needs repair when it appears. Change the mode and the ice maker is free to work again.
Do all Echelon 2000 models show this message?
No. Only models with an ice maker, the CO2175F, CLRCO2175 and CO2175DWR, have the mode. A unit without one never scrolls this message.
How long until ice appears after I change the mode?
Give the ice maker several hours to build ice again. Production only restarts once the mode is off, so check first that the display has returned to the set point.
Can the message appear on its own?
Not usually. Ice Maker Off mode needs a key sequence to switch it on, so someone normally pressed ON/OFF followed by three taps of the up arrow. Ask others in the household whether they touched the keypad.
Does this mode change how cold the unit keeps things?
The message only reports that the ice maker is off. It says nothing about the set point, which the display shows again once the mode is switched off. Check the cabinet with a thermometer if you are unsure.
Something else going on with your ice machine?
A technician finds the cause at your bar or lanai and puts the price in writing before any part comes out.
