Error codeRapid flash
ApplianceIce Maker
Quick answer
Rapid flash on the control board LED of older CLR60, CLR2060 and CLRCO2075 clear ice makers is a high-heat signal, and the unit stops.
Model compatibility: U-Line reuses codes across series and model years, so Rapid flash 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
Control board LED rapid flashing: high-heat signal from the thermistor (dirty condenser, inadequate airflow, failed condenser fan motor, etc.); the unit stops operating.
A rapidly flashing LED on the control board means the board is receiving a high-heat signal from the thermistor, and the unit stops operating. The wording comes from the manuals for the CLR60 and for the original control boards of the CLR2060 and CLRCO2075 clear ice makers. These are older U-Line models.
Causes the manual names
A dirty condenser.
Inadequate airflow, for example a unit installed behind closed doors.
A failed condenser fan motor.
These are given as examples of what can cause the signal.
Cleaning the coil
In the low-ice troubleshooting chart, a dirty condensing coil that shows a rapid flash is answered with cleaning the coil. A stalled condenser fan blade is answered by freeing the blade or replacing the fan motor, which belongs with a technician. Disconnect the main power before anything is serviced.
Compare with these
Slow flash: the same LED, but pointing to a sensor problem.
Zone T / Amb Thrm: thermistor circuit messages on a newer clear ice machine.
