Before Calling for Service

If you think your U-Line product is malfunctioning, read the OPERATION section of this guide to understand clearly the function of the control.

If the problem persists, read the NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section of this guide 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. Contact information appears on the rear cover of this guide.

When you call, you will need your product Model and Serial Numbers. This information can be recorded inside the front cover of this guide. It also appears on the Model and Serial number plate located on the upper right or rear wall of the interior of your product.

Replacement Parts

When you need replacement parts, always request genuine U-Line replacements. U-Line designs and engineers products using components that work efficiently, and provide superior service life and performance. The use of aftermarket parts or components may affect the safety, operation, performance or durability of your product, and may also void its warranty.

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 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.
