What CL
actually means.
On Electrolux ICON under-counter clear-ice makers, CL on the display confirms that the automatic cleaning cycle has started. The cycle runs about 45 minutes, and the unit then stays off for another 15 minutes before it goes back to making ice.

What to do when CL shows on the ice makerKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the ice maker was switched into, often without anyone noticing, rather than something that broke: ice turned off from the panel or by the wire arm lifted while reaching into the bin, a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a cleaning cycle still running, a reminder that the water filter is due. No part has worn out, and the ice maker's own buttons or arm put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Add the ice machine cleaner to the water reservoir when water starts flowing over the evaporator, about 3 minutes in.
Shows up asUndercounter Ice Maker Not Draining
An undercounter ice maker not draining leaves standing water in the bottom of the bin, turns cubes into a slushy layer, smells musty, or shows a drain light.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for CL on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Add the ice machine cleaner to the water reservoir when water starts flowing over the evaporator, about 3 minutes in.
Let the cycle finish without interrupting power; if power is cut, run the whole cycle again.
Throw away the first batch of ice afterward, and book a visit if CL never clears.
Cleared?
The ice maker is filling and dropping cubes again and no part was needed. If the same code returns during the next harvest, or water shows up on the floor again, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
CL is not a warning or a failure. It also does not drain the bin for you; the bin still needs washing and sanitizing by hand.

Mode, not a failure on other makes
Door ice maker
The ice maker that feeds the dispenser on the outside of a door: tucked into an insulated box in the left door of a French door model, or at the top of the freezer side of a side-by-side, with a chute and an auger carrying cubes to your glass.
Freezer ice maker
The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.
In Electrolux's own words
The display will show “CL” to confirm the beginning of the cleaning cycle.

Still showing CL?
Book with the code or the blink pattern written exactly as the ice maker shows it, the full model number, and whether there is any water on the floor — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
