Error codeE7
ApplianceRefrigerator
Sensor behind E7, by series
UHRE515/524, UHWC524, UHBD524, UHRI124, UHRF124: thermistor 3 shorted. The clear ice manuals say it does not apply to those machines.
Echelon refrigerators, wine cabinets, beverage centers and the clear ice combo: thermistor 2 open or shorted. The 2175RF does not have this code.
Seeing it
Standing at a newer unit you will not normally see E7. It is kept in the error log, which lists faults as they happened, while the display is kept for door errors and their audible signal.
Next step
The manuals offer no procedure for owners. Note the model number and book service if E7 repeats.
Related codes
E3 is thermistor 3 open, the other fault on that sensor.
Owners in San Francisco and the Bay Area can ring (415) 329-7078 about a U-Line refrigerator showing E7, and find background on U-Line refrigerator repair. Have the code and the model number ready, plus a note of what you tried.
Model compatibility: U-Line reuses codes across series and model years, so E7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
E7 is thermistor 3 shorted on newer U-Line models and thermistor 2 open or shorted on Echelon models.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
