On U-Line’s 24-inch convertible freezers, dr is the door alert. A plunger switch watches the door, and after five minutes open the control shows dr and sounds a tone for a few seconds every minute; the same event is saved in the error log as E0. U-Line freezer display · also shown as E0 What to do when dr shows on the freezer ### Kind of code Mode, not a failure A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back. ### Usually leads to No repair Close the door firmly; the alert clears and resets as soon as the switch sees it shut. ### Shows up as Freezer Error Code A freezer error code appears on the display: letters and digits, a flashing temperature, or a warning symbol, sometimes with an alarm and sometimes with the freezer still running. ### Make U-Line U-Line freezers repaired where they are installed, from a warm drawer to an alarm that keeps going off. ### Source U-Line User Guide & Service Manual, UHFZ124 24-inch convertible freezer (u-line.com PDF) HFZ124 (indoor) and OFZ124 (outdoor) 24-inch convertible freezers with the touch control. The error log records the same event as E0 (door 1). ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from U-Line's own guidance for dr on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Close the door firmly; the alert clears and resets as soon as the switch sees it shut. 02 Check that a basket, a tall package or the adjoining cabinetry is not stopping the door from closing all the way. 03 If dr appears with the door closed, check the seal for gaps, then book a visit to test the door switch. ### Cleared? The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem. ### What not to do dr does not mean the freezer has warmed up; it only reports the open door. A unit that is warm with the door shut points to cooling or sensor problems, which U-Line logs as E codes instead. ## What you may notice with it. The freezer problems dr tends to arrive with.

Close the door firmly; the alert clears and resets as soon as the switch sees it shut. ### How long can the U-Line convertible freezer door stay open before dr shows? Five minutes. After that, dr appears and the tone repeats every minute until the door is closed. ### Why does my U-Line show dr when the door is shut? The plunger switch may not be pressed fully, because the door is not seating or the switch has failed. Check for anything in the way, then have the switch tested. ### Is E0 in the U-Line error log the same thing as dr? Yes. E0 is how the log records the first door being left open, while dr is what you see on the display at the time. --- **[Read on the site: U-Line dr on a convertible freezer: the door has been open over 5 minutes](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/u-line-dr/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
