# U-Line: The display is showing CL

### What the appliance is actually doing

This one is searched and undocumented, and saying so is the honest answer. CL appears in none of the forty-four U-Line manuals read for this site as something a display shows — the letters occur only inside part numbers, and the closest documented string is CLR, which flashes while the error log is being cleared in the service menu. So: people are seeing something, we can describe where the letters legitimately come from, and we are not going to invent a meaning for them.

### Quoted rather than interpreted

> 
To clear errors, press and hold (5 seconds) when CLR is flashing.

From 15: CLEAR ERROR LOG, in a User Guide & Service Manual downloaded from U-Line’s own site. Nothing on this page is decoded beyond what that sentence says.

### What to do about it

- Note whether it is CL or CLR, and whether it is steady or flashing. CLR flashing means somebody is in the service menu clearing the error log — hold the light key for five seconds and it completes.
- If it is CL on an ice machine, treat it as a cleaning prompt until proven otherwise. That is what the letters would mean on most makes, the nugget machines here signal for cleaning by other means, and running the cleaning cycle harms nothing.
- Do not take a decoded CL table off a search result for this make. This is the brand whose codes were invented wholesale once already.
- If it persists after a cleaning cycle, have the log read properly. Whatever the display is abbreviating, the board’s own list is the place it will be written in full.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [control board and display repair](/services/control-board-and-display-repair/), and every one of those pages carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 851-2207](tel:+13058512207) and describe what the display is doing before booking anything.

**u line ice maker cl code** is a real search with no documented answer, and the useful page is the one that says which parts of it are known.
