# U-Line diagnostic visit

What this involves

Modes ruled out before any part is named

The error log read, not guessed at

Credited toward the repair

What it has been doing, in your words

Not only what it is doing now. A cabinet that drifted over a month and one that stopped the night the power came back are rarely the same story, and the second often ends at a breaker with no part at all.

The modes ruled out first, because they are free

Showroom mode lights the display and stops the cooling. Sabbath mode blanks the display and keeps everything running. A UI lock makes a working panel look dead. All three are two keys and five seconds, and all three arrive here as failures.

The error log read out of the service menu

U-Line logs its errors in memory and shows only the door error on the display. So the numbers exist and nobody at home can see them: a hidden key held for ten seconds, then the log option, and the errors scroll in the order they happened.

The plate, and whether the board agrees with it

Model and serial are on the upper right or rear wall inside. The control also carries a two-digit model number of its own, and a board programmed to the wrong machine runs the wrong defrost interval — worth checking on any unit that has had a board before.
