U-Line Refrigerator Error Code P1
Error code P1 indicates an open circuit in the refrigerator’s pump circuit. The pump circuit is responsible for draining water from the refrigerator’s evaporator coils. When the pump circuit is open, the water cannot drain properly, which can lead to a buildup of ice and frost on the coils. This can cause the refrigerator to operate inefficiently and may even lead to the refrigerator not cooling properly.
Possible causes:
- Open circuit in the pump circuit. This is the most likely cause of error code P1. The circuit can open due to mechanical damage, wear, or corrosion.
- Defective pump. The pump itself may be defective and not able to properly drain water.
- Defective control board. The control board may not be sending the correct signal to the pump, which can cause the pump to not turn on.
Troubleshooting:
1. Check the pump circuit.
Disconnect the pump from the control board and check for continuity between the terminals. If there is no continuity, the circuit is open and the pump will need to be replaced.
2. Check the pump.
If the pump circuit is not open, check the pump itself for damage or wear. If the pump is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
3. Check the control board.
If the pump and pump circuit are not defective, check the control board for damage. If the control board is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
What to do if you can’t troubleshoot the problem yourself:
