SPECIFIC ERRORS AND ISSUES

The advanced diagnostic capabilities of the electronic controls utilized on the 1, 3, and 5 Class units allow for easy and thorough troubleshooting.

Navigation of the control is the key and is explained in the CONTROL OPERATION section of the manual, along with control button layout, control function descriptions, a service mode menu and service menu selection explanations.

Verification of temperature and thermistor performance can be identified by directly viewing thermistor readings in the service mode.

Included in this section are some diagnostic tips and of course, if additional help is required, please contact the U-Line Corp, "Customer Care Facility" at +1.800.779.2547 for assistance.

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 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.

Thermistors

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.

Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the resistance should read 16.1k Ohms +/-5% on your meter.

Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.

It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.

Thermistor error information can be found in the Control Operations - Service section.

This unit has two thermistors.

Evaporator Thermistor

If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will otherwise operate normally. Refer to defrost section.

Defrost

This unit defrosts every 12 hours of compressor runtime for 45 minutes. If you have verified that the unit does not have an ambient air leak, utilize the Control Operation - Service section and adjust unit to defrost every 9 hours for 60 minutes. Also, adjust the #2 thermistor to -4 instead of 0.

Remove Fan and Cover

CONVECTION COOLING

This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet temperature, cools product faster and increases energy efficiency.

Evaporator Fan

The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back into the refrigerated zone.

The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2 minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can be modified through the service menu.

Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door switch state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate air and clear any condensation that may have appeared on glass doors and shelves.

Note: If the unit is set to sabbath mode, the evaporator fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.

In order to operate efficiently, the evaporator fan blade

  1. Remove insulating foam from refrigerant line pass-through hole as needed to gain clearance for fan plug.
  2. Remove internal shelving.
  3. Remove 8 evaporator cover screws.

  1. Grasp evaporator cover, pull forward and up as bottom of cover is installed behind the front edge of the drain trough.
  2. While pulling the evaporator cover clear of the unit, it may be necessary to use your free hand to manipulate the fan plug end through the pass-through hole.
  3. Remove the 4 screws mounting the fan shroud to the evaporator plate.

U-Line UHBV515-SG01A - Evaporator Fan - 2

NOTICE

Fan must be oriented to pull air in through lower evaporator cover vents and push air out at fan mounting location.
