Error codeCONDENSER PROBE (S3)
ApplianceBlast Chiller
Short answer
A condenser probe that has failed is what CONDENSER PROBE (S3) announces, and the manual answers with call service. Beside it sits a remark: this alarm does not apply to the present version of the blast chiller.
Models on the list
The entry belongs to the touch screen controller on the UCBF659, UCBF632, UCBF559, UCBF532 and UCBF432.
If CONDENSER PROBE (S3) turns up on your unit in San Francisco or elsewhere in the Bay Area, telephone (415) 329-7078. Mention the exact message, the model, and what you did before calling. Our U-Line freezer repair page lists the work we take on.
Model compatibility: U-Line reuses codes across series and model years, so CONDENSER PROBE (S3) may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
