# U-Line dr on the ice machine display: the door is not shut

The clear ice control logs many events, but the door message is the one it puts on the display, with a tone.

## What dr actually means.

The clear ice control logs many events, but the door message is the one it puts on the display, with a tone. U-Line's advice is to make sure the door is sealing and fully closed; if dr stays after that, the door switch or its magnet needs attention.

U-Line ice machine display · also shown as DR

What to do when dr shows on the ice machine

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

Nothing is broken; the control is reporting a state someone chose or a routine it runs: a clean or sanitize reminder counting the hours since the last cycle, a delay of a few minutes after power returns before the pump and compressor start, a bin-full light while the bin control is satisfied, or a standby or off mode someone chose at the keypad. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the light asks for, waiting out the delay or the key sequence from the manual ends it.

### Usually leads to No repair

Close the door firmly and check that nothing, such as the scoop or a lump of ice, is caught in the gasket.

### Shows up as Ice Machine Error Code or Flashing Light: What It Is Telling You

An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

### Make U-Line

U-Line ice machine visits in a home bar start at the drain, since a slow line affects both the ice and the floor around it.

### Source U-Line UHCL115 15-inch clear ice machine user guide and service manual

U-Line clear ice machines with the numeric display: 1 Class HCL115/HCP115, Outdoor OCL115/OCP115 and the 3000 Series 18-inch clear model.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from U-Line's own guidance for dr on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the door firmly and check that nothing, such as the scoop or a lump of ice, is caught in the gasket.

02

Inspect the gasket for creases or splits, and see whether the door has dropped out of line.

03

If dr stays with the door properly shut, book a visit to test the door switch.

### Cleared?

The light or code is gone, and the machine fills, freezes and drops a full batch of cubes into the bin with no new part. If it returns within a week, or the clean light comes back straight after a cleaning cycle, mention that in the booking.

### What not to do

dr is not a cooling or water problem, though a door left open lets warm air melt the stored ice. The other logged errors, such as thermistor or pump events, never appear on this display and have to be read in the service menu.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about dr.

### Can I clear dr myself?

Close the door firmly and check that nothing, such as the scoop or a lump of ice, is caught in the gasket.

### Why does my U-Line ice machine beep and show dr?

The door is being read as open. The tone and the letters stop once the door seals.

### Can a U-Line ice machine show dr with the door closed?

Yes, if the door is held off the gasket or the switch has failed. Check the gasket first, then book a visit for the switch.

### Does dr on a U-Line mean the ice will melt?

Only if the door really stays open, since the bin loses cold air. Fix the seal and the stored ice holds as usual.
