U-Line 1000/2000 Series Wine Cooler Code E3: Thermistor 3 Has an Open Circuit

What E3 means

A U-Line 1000 Series or 2000 Series wine cooler that displays E3 has an open Thermistor 3. The third temperature sensor does not complete its circuit, so the control cannot read it and shows E3. Older listings gave this code another meaning, but on these series it is a sensor reading. The shorted reading for the same sensor is E7.

Common causes of E3

Thermistor 3 is open
The sensor lead is pinched or broken
The connector has moisture

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Shut the cooler off, wait one minute and start it again. 2. Use a separate thermometer to confirm what the cabinet is doing. 3. Check the back of the cabinet for spills. 4. Leave covers on. 5. Call us if E3 returns.

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.

E3E3 questions

What sensor does E3 refer to?

The third temperature sensor circuit is incomplete, so Thermistor 3 reads open to the control.

Is E3 a door code?

No. Door readings on these coolers are E0 and E9. E3 belongs with the open sensor codes E1 to E4.

Which code covers a shorted Thermistor 3?

E7 reports Thermistor 3 shorted. The pair E3 and E7 tells us whether the circuit is open or shorted.
