Error codeE7
ApplianceRefrigerator
Quick answer
E7 is thermistor 3 shorted on current U-Line units and thermistor 2 open or shorted on legacy Echelon models.
Model compatibility: U-Line reuses codes across series and model years, so E7 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
E7 means thermistor 3 shorted on current U-Line models, and thermistor 2 open or shorted on legacy Echelon models.
The E7 code points at a temperature sensor circuit, though which sensor depends on the age of the unit.
Current series
On the UHRE515/524, UHWC524, UHBD524, UHRI124 and UHRF124 units, E7 is thermistor 3 shorted. Clear ice machine manuals state that it does not apply to them. As with the other thermistor codes, it is stored in the error log rather than flashed on the display.
Legacy Echelon series
Echelon refrigerators, wine cabinets, beverage centers and the clear ice combo carry E7 as thermistor 2 open or shorted. It is not available on the 2175RF.
Owner action
Neither manual lists anything for the owner to do, so a repeating E7 is best handed to a technician.
