Get U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner; U-Line says other cleaners can damage the machine. ### How do I stop the lamps flickering on my U-Line nugget machine? Run the cleaning cycle. The flicker stops only when it is done. ### Is six months of ice making the same as six calendar months? It is cumulative ice-making time, so a machine that rests often will go longer between reminders. ### Can I clean my U-Line nugget machine before the lamps ask? Yes. Hard water or visible scale are good reasons to clean sooner. --- **[Read on the site: U-Line nugget ice machine lamps flickering in turn: cleaning due](https://icemachinerepair.center/error-codes/u-line-clean-signal/)** **[Book a visit with IceMachineRepair.center](https://icemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
