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 machine

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from U-Line's own guidance for ICE and NO WATER blinking on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the machine off.

02

Check the water supply only to rule it out; this pattern is about the sensor.

03

Book a visit to test and refit or replace the sensor.

Still there?

It usually turns into ice machine bin control repair. Book with the code and the model number.

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.

Questions
about ICE and NO WATER blinking.

Can I clear ICE and NO WATER blinking myself?
Turn the machine off. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why does my U-Line nugget machine stop with ICE and NO WATER blinking?
The evaporator sensor has lost its reading, so the control cannot run a safe cycle.
Can a loose sensor clip cause this on a U-Line?
Yes. U-Line lists the attachment as well as the sensor itself.
Will the machine restart on its own after this pattern?
No. It starts again after the sensor is repaired.

Back to your everyday

Still showing ICE and NO WATER blinking?

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.
