U-Line Echelon 2000 Code E6: Thermistor 1 reading 10 F below set point

What E6 means

On U-Line Echelon 2000 refrigerators with the 2010 control, such as the 2175RF and the 2175DWRR, E6 means thermistor 1 reads 10 F under the set point for more than 12 hours. The cabinet is running far colder than requested. The usual culprit is a bad relay and circuit board that keeps the cooling running past the set point. Food near the back wall can freeze.

Common causes of E6

A relay on the control that stays closed
A failed circuit board
Cooling that never cycles off

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Raise the set point a few degrees and see if the display responds. 2. Unplug the unit for one minute and restore power. 3. Move food that is touching the back wall, since it can freeze. 4. If E6 returns, call us. Do not open the control.

! Why to stop there

The relay and board are control electronics
Board replacement needs the right part
Freezing temperatures damage food and bottles

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

E6E6 questions

Why is my U-Line too cold with E6?

E6 means the cabinet stayed 10 F below the set point for over 12 hours. A relay that stays closed keeps cooling on, so the control cannot shut the cooling off.

Can I just turn the temperature up?

You can try, and it shows whether the control responds. If the cabinet stays cold at a higher set point, the relay or board is the cause and needs a replacement.

Is the unit safe to leave plugged in?

It keeps cooling, so food and bottles can freeze. Lower the load or move items until we repair it. We give the price in writing and back the work for 30 days.
