What ICE and NO WATER blinking
actually means.
The evaporator outlet sensor tells the control how cold the drum is getting, and every cooling check relies on it. When it reads open or shorted, ICE and NO WATER blink together, and U-Line's step is to check the sensor and its mounting and restart after the repair.

What to do when ICE and NO WATER blinking shows on the ice machineKind of codeSensors and bin control
A sensor is telling the board something that is not true: a bin control that reads full on an empty bin, or empty while ice spills over the top, a curtain switch stuck open, a temperature sensor out of range, or an eye on a dispenser that no longer sees the cup. Scale and slime on a probe or an ultrasonic sensor cause much of it. Clearing ice piled against the bin control is a safe first step; testing and replacing a sensor is a technician's.
Usually leads toIce machine bin control repair
The thermostat bulb, paddle, curtain switch or electronic eye that senses a full bin, adjusted or replaced so the machine stops and restarts on time.
Shows up asIce 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.

What not to do
This is a sensor pattern, not the warm-evaporator warnings Er01 or Er03. Those appear when the sensor works but reports a temperature that is too high.

A booking with a code goes further when it carries the light or code copied as it appeared, the model and serial off the data plate, and a word on whether cubes still fall into the bin. With those three in hand, our office can match the probable part to your machine the same afternoon.
