U-Line Incomplete Freeze Cycle

Unit is running but ice is wet, slushy, or not fully frozen

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Evaporator not reaching proper temperature, Dirty condenser coil, Low refrigerant charge, Faulty evaporator thermistor

Safety First: Unplug before cleaning or accessing internal components.

Step 1 – Clean condenser and verify fan: Restore proper heat rejection to improve evaporator temperature.
Step 2 – Check thermistor: Test and replace the evaporator thermistor if it is misreading and ending the freeze cycle too early.
Step 3 – Observe frost pattern: If only part of the evaporator frosts, a sealed-system issue may exist and requires a technician.

Do not attempt sealed-system repairs without proper certification.
