What CL means

On U-Line Echelon 2000 ice makers with the 2010 control, only the CLR2160 and the CLRCO2175, the display shows CL while the self-cleaning cycle runs. You start it by holding ON/OFF and pressing LIGHT three times, and the cycle lasts 1 hour. CL is a status message, not an error, and it ends when the cycle finishes. Afterward the unit returns to its normal display.

Common causes of CL

  • The self-cleaning cycle was started on purpose
  • The ON/OFF and LIGHT buttons were pressed in sequence by accident
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Wait the full hour for the cycle to finish. 2. Do not unplug the unit during the cycle. 3. Keep the door closed. 4. When CL leaves the display, the unit returns to normal. 5. If CL stays beyond a couple of hours, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • CL is normal operation, not a repair item
  • Interrupting the cycle leaves it unfinished
  • A call only helps if CL never clears
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.

CLCL questions
How do I start the cleaning cycle?

Hold ON/OFF and press LIGHT three times. The display shows CL and the cycle runs for 1 hour. It exists only on the CLR2160 and the CLRCO2175. The cycle needs no extra steps from you.

Is CL a problem?

No. CL means the cleaning cycle is running. Let it finish, and the display goes back to its normal view when the hour ends. It is a status message that goes away on its own.

What if CL never goes away?

If CL is still showing long after the hour has passed, call us. We check the control and the buttons, and the price is given in writing before any work. We also check that the control responds to the keys.
