Bin T Short on the 3000-series
The U-Line U-3018CLRS-40B, a 3000-series clear ice machine, can list Bin T Short in its All Errors log. The label describes a shorted circuit at the bin thermistor.
Relation to Bin T Open
It is the same thermistor as in Bin T Open, but the fault is a short rather than a break. The manual’s troubleshooting table treats the thermistor entries together.
What a technician does
First look at the harness end of the thermistor for moisture or corrosion.
Then look at the harness connection on the main board.
If both connections are valid, swap the thermistor.
Wiping the log
Clear Errors is an item in the service menu. Select it and confirm to remove the stored entries.
Door Open 5M: a door switch entry found in the same log.
