# U-Line refrigerator showing ºF / ºC symbol flashing

A flashing °F / °C symbol, with the display and interior light working but no cooling, means the unit is in Showroom Mode.

## What ºF / ºC symbol flashing actually means.

A flashing °F / °C symbol, with the display and interior light working but no cooling, means the unit is in Showroom Mode. It is meant for display floors. Nothing has broken. The mode is turned on and off by holding two keys together.

What to do when ºF / ºC symbol flashing shows on the refrigerator

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting somebody chose, or an alert it raised on purpose — a showroom mode, a door or power alarm. Nothing has broken and no part is needed.

### Usually leads to No repair

Check whether the cabinet is actually cold. In Showroom Mode it will not be.

### Shows up as Refrigerator Not Cooling

The compartment is warm but the appliance still has power and still makes noise.

### Make U-Line

Undercounter refrigeration, ice machines, wine cabinets and beverage centers — almost nothing full-height.

### Source U-Line User Guide & Service Manual, model UHRE515-IG01A (u-line.com PDF)

Documented in U-Line's guide for the UHRE515 refrigerator. Which keys you hold depends on the model.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from U-Line's own guidance for ºF / ºC symbol flashing on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Check whether the cabinet is actually cold. In Showroom Mode it will not be.

02

Hold the two keys shown in your guide's Showroom Mode row for 5 seconds. The same command turns the mode off again.

03

If the symbol stops flashing and the unit still does not cool, contact U-Line Customer Care.

### Cleared?

Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.

### What not to do

Do not treat it as a sealed-system failure or order parts. The unit is doing exactly what Showroom Mode tells it to.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about ºF / ºC symbol flashing.

### Can I clear ºF / ºC symbol flashing myself?

Check whether the cabinet is actually cold. In Showroom Mode it will not be.

### Why is my U-Line lit up but not cooling with the °F / °C symbol flashing?

That combination is Showroom Mode, meant for display floors, where the display and light work but the unit does not cool. The unit is healthy and simply following the mode. Holding the two keys listed in your guide for 5 seconds turns it off.

### The °F / °C symbol stopped flashing but my U-Line still is not cold. Now what?

Once the mode is off, the unit should start cooling. If it does not, contact U-Line Customer Care. The key pair differs by model, so check the guide for yours.
