Error code CL
Appliance Ice Maker
Quick answer

CL on a U-Line ice machine is a cleaning message, not a fault. Meaning and next step differ between the nugget machines and the older CLR2160.

Model compatibility: U-Line reuses codes across series and model years, so CL may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

CL is a cleaning message on U-Line ice machines and is not a fault.

CL on a U-Line ice machine is a cleaning message, not a fault. What it asks for depends on the series.

Nugget machines: UHNB115 and UHNP115

On these current nugget models, CL appears about every six months while ice production continues. Run the nugget cleaning cycle by holding the clean button for 10 seconds. To reset the CL reminder, hold the up, down and light buttons for 10 seconds.

Older CLR2160 clear ice makers

On the CLR2160, a legacy series, CL means cleaning mode. The machine cleans for about 45 minutes, rests for 15 minutes, and then turns itself back on. It is not a fault.

A real fault, for contrast

A thermistor entry such as Condenser T Open is a circuit problem, unlike CL. The similar reminder CLEAN is also not a fault.
