U-Line Refrigerator Error Code E6

Error Code E6 on your U-Line refrigerator indicates a Thermistor 2 short circuit. The thermistor is a temperature sensor responsible for monitoring the temperature inside the refrigerator. When Thermistor 2 is detected as shorted, it means that there is an abnormal electrical connection or malfunction in this particular temperature sensor.

Possible Causes:

1. Faulty Thermistor: The thermistor itself may be damaged or malfunctioning.
2. Wiring Issues: There could be a short circuit in the wiring connecting Thermistor 2 to the refrigerator’s control board.
3. Control Board Malfunction: The control board, which processes temperature readings, may be experiencing issues.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check Thermistor 2 Wiring: Inspect the wiring connected to Thermistor 2 for any visible damage or loose connections. Repair or replace damaged wires as needed.
2. Test Thermistor 2 Resistance: Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of Thermistor 2. If the resistance is out of the normal range, consider replacing the thermistor.
3. Inspect Control Board: Examine the refrigerator’s control board for any signs of damage or burnt components. If issues are found, the control board may need replacement.
4. Professional Assistance: If you’re unsure about performing these checks or if the issue persists, it’s advisable to seek professional assistance from a qualified technician.

Note: Error codes provide valuable information about specific malfunctions, allowing for efficient and accurate troubleshooting. Always prioritize safety and, if needed, consult with a technician to address the error and restore your refrigerator to proper functionality.
