U-Line Origins 1000 Code E2: Thermistor shorted

What E2 means

On U-Line Origins 1000 refrigerators, such as the 1115WC, the 1175WC and the 1175BEV, code E2 means the thermistor is shorted. The control reads the cabinet sensor as a direct short rather than a changing resistance, so it has no usable temperature. E2 appears on the display. On Echelon 2000 models the same label points to thermistor 1. The cabinet temperature is not regulated from a good reading while E2 shows.

Common causes of E2

A thermistor that has shorted
Pinched or damaged sensor wiring
Moisture at the sensor plug

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Write down the code and the model. 2. Unplug for one minute, then plug back in. 3. Check that nothing blocks the vents or the door. 4. If E2 shows again, call us and watch the cabinet temperature. 5. Wait several minutes for the display to settle.

! Why to stop there

A short and a bad reading look alike without a meter
The wiring is inside the cabinet
The wrong part leaves the code in place

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.

E2E2 questions

How is E2 different from E1 on an Origins 1000?

E1 is an open thermistor and E2 is a shorted thermistor. Both are sensor circuit failures, and both lead to a sensor or wiring repair.

Can moisture cause E2?

Moisture at the sensor plug can create a short. We dry and test the connection and replace the sensor if the reading does not return to normal.

What will the repair involve?

We test the sensor circuit, replace the failed part and confirm the display returns to its normal view. The price is quoted in writing and the repair has a 30-day warranty.
