What to do when ICE lamp blinking 2 seconds on, 1 off shows on the ice machineKind of codeMode, 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.

Check the bin; if it is full, nothing needs doing.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from U-Line's own guidance for ICE lamp blinking 2 seconds on, 1 off on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the bin; if it is full, nothing needs doing.
If the bin is not full, check that ice has not piled up against the bin sensor on one side.
If the pattern shows with an empty bin, book a visit to test the bin sensor.
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
This slow blink is not Er03, which blinks the ICE lamp while the machine is trying to make ice. It is also not the wash-cycle blink, which is an even once-a-second rhythm.
