U-Line Wine Cooler Error Code E2
Error code E2 on your U-Line wine cooler indicates a problem with the low-temperature sensor, also known as Thermistor 3. This sensor is responsible for monitoring the temperature inside the cooling unit of your wine cooler and providing this information to the control board. When Thermistor 3 is open, it cannot properly communicate the temperature, leading to potential issues with maintaining the ideal temperature for your wine.
What are the symptoms of Error Code E2?
While the most obvious symptom is the error code itself displaying on the control panel, other symptoms might include:
- Wine not being chilled properly
- Wine freezing
- Wine cooler cycling on and off frequently
- Unusual noises coming from the wine cooler

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot error code E2 on your U-Line wine cooler:
- Consult your user manual: Refer to your specific wine cooler model’s user manual for detailed instructions on locating and accessing Thermistor 3.
- Visually inspect Thermistor 3: Look for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks or broken wires.
- Check the connections: Ensure all wires connecting Thermistor 3 to the control board are securely fastened and free of corrosion.
