U-Line Origins 1000 Code E6: Temperature 10 degrees below set point for 6 hours

What E6 means

On U-Line Origins 1000 refrigerators, such as the 1115WC, the 1175WC and the 1175BEV, E6 means the actual cabinet temperature sat 10 degrees under the set point for more than 6 hours. The cabinet is running much colder than requested, so food and bottles can freeze. On Echelon 2000 the same code uses a 12-hour window. The unit keeps running while the code shows, which is why items near the back wall freeze first.

Common causes of E6

A control that keeps the cooling running
A temperature reading that does not match the cabinet
A cooling circuit that does not cycle off

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Raise the set point a few degrees. 2. Move food and bottles away from the back wall. 3. Unplug the unit for one minute and plug it back in. 4. If E6 returns, call us and protect items that can freeze.

! Why to stop there

Overcooling can damage food and bottles
The control and its relay need testing
A restart does not fix a stuck cooling circuit

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 Origins 1000 freezing things?

E6 means the cabinet stayed 10 degrees under the set point for over 6 hours. The cooling is not shutting off at the set point, so items near the back wall freeze first.

Will a higher set point help?

It shows whether the control responds. If the cabinet stays too cold at a higher set point, the control needs testing, so call us. Call us if it repeats.

Should I unplug the unit?

Unplugging for a day is fine if food is moved. Otherwise restore power after a minute and call us. We quote the price in writing first. A restart clears nothing if the control keeps cooling.
