U-Line under counter ice maker not working.
This thread is a couple of months overdue for me.. We have a U-LINE Model ULN-BCM95-03 under-counter cabinet mounted Ice maker in our MH that hasn't worked at all this season since we pulled it out...

On my model 95 U-Line Ice Maker, it NEVER makes ice the 1st I turn it on, NEVER!!!! The solution is buried deep in the manual trouble shooting. It says to turn the thermostat UP slightly. Once you hear the tinkle of ice cube making, turn it back down to where it was. Kind of counter intuitive but works every time for me.
U-Line FYI
It is a replacement ice-maker compressor. The original U-Line was an R12 Gas model and is no longer available. The new compressor assembly is available from Air & Water, Inc., at $369. The unit is model A1-500SS. Phone 1.800.734-0405 or 714.421.4328. FAX 714.200.0665. Their address is 100 South Linwood Ave., Building B, Santa Ana, CA 92705. One has to shave off approximately 1/4" on one of the vertical frames.
Replace the tstat. NEVER in almost 30 years of working on RV U line Icemakers have I ever had your type problem. I have U line RV icemakers in my house and after each defrost, I never have any problem with harvesting ice or the start of the Ice making harvest. I probably defrost at least 10 to 15 times a year and have for over 20 years. The tstat just allows you to set the harvest time. You can set it up to dump ice before it is hard as a rock and let it complete the solid process in the bin. This gives you a faster supply of ice. Your points are probably sticking and that is why you need to replace the tstat. Doug
