What UIX
actually means.

UIX is the G5 display communication code. Perlick’s step is to reset power with the rocker switch or the breaker, and to book service if it continues.

What to do when UIX shows on the freezer

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Perlick's own guidance for UIX on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the unit off with the rocker switch or at the breaker, wait a moment, and turn it back on.

02

Check that the display responds and shows a normal temperature.

03

If UIX continues, book a visit and keep a thermometer in the freezer until then.

Still there?

It usually turns into freezer control board and alarm repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

UIX does not mean the freezer has stopped cooling. It also differs from MEM, a memory code Perlick groups with it.

Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Perlick G5 undercounter models with the touch display, including the G5 Luxe 24-inch freezer drawers (URS24E61). The code appears in Alarm History, which keeps the last ten alarms with date and time.

Questions
about UIX.

Can I clear UIX myself?
Turn the unit off with the rocker switch or at the breaker, wait a moment, and turn it back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Where is the rocker switch on a Perlick G5?
It is the unit’s own power switch, described in the G5 manual. Using it or the breaker restarts both the control and the display.
Will my Perlick freezer keep cooling with UIX?
Often yes, since the cooling control is separate from the display. Watch the temperature, because you cannot adjust it until the link is back.
What causes Perlick UIX besides a bad display?
A loose display cable or a brief power problem can also cause it, which is why a power reset comes first.

Back to your everyday

Still showing UIX?

Book with the code or the alarm pattern written exactly as the freezer shows it, the full model number, and whether the food is still frozen hard — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
