What dr
actually means.
On U-Line's clear ice and craft ice models, dr on the display means the control thinks the door is open. The plunger switch that watches the door triggers the alert and a tone after the door has stood open for more than 5 minutes; in the error log the same event is stored as E0 or E9.

What to do when dr 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
Push the door fully closed and check that nothing in the bin, such as the scoop or a bag, is stopping it.

An ice maker light flashing where it used to glow steadily: a blinking power or ice light, a flashing clean or descale symbol, an add-water light, or a status light on the ice maker itself.

U-Line 15-inch clear ice (HCL, OCL, ACP) and craft ice (RCC) models with the digital control. U-Line says all errors are logged in memory, but only the door error shows on the display with a tone; the others are read from the error log in service mode.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from U-Line's own guidance for dr on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Push the door fully closed and check that nothing in the bin, such as the scoop or a bag, is stopping it.
Look at the door gasket for a fold or tear that keeps the door from sealing.
If dr stays with the door sealed, book a visit so the door switch can be tested.
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
dr is not a cooling or ice making report. It only means the control believes the door is open, which lets warm air melt the stored ice.
What you may
notice with it.
The ice maker problems dr tends to arrive with. Answer these at the ice maker before anyone is booked.

In U-Line's own words
If display shows error “dr”, check to make sure door is sealing correctly.

Still showing dr?
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.
