Error codeE10
ApplianceRefrigerator
E10 in brief
Applies to: Echelon drawer models only, an older series.
Cause: the top drawer has stayed open for more than 20 minutes.
Sound: a beep once every minute until it is dealt with.
What to try
Look at the top drawer and make sure it is pushed all the way in. Once it is shut, the open-drawer condition is gone. If the beeping goes on despite a closed drawer, arrange service.

E0: how door 1, the upper door, is logged on current models.
A drawer unit that keeps beeping can be booked for U-Line refrigerator repair through (415) 329-7078 in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Quote E10 and the model number when you call.
Model compatibility: U-Line reuses codes across series and model years, so E10 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
