U-Line Ice Maker Error Code Evap T Open

Evap T Open means the evaporator thermistor circuit is reading as open, which indicates the control board has lost its signal from the temperature sensor on the evaporator coil. This prevents the unit from monitoring its freeze cycle correctly. The fault is typically caused by a loose connector, a broken wire, or a failed thermistor sensor.

It is not recommended. The unit cannot accurately track evaporator temperatures without a functioning thermistor, which means ice production will be unreliable or will stop entirely. Continuing to run the unit in this state could also stress other components in the refrigeration system.

If only a loose connector is involved, there may be no parts cost at all. If the evaporator thermistor needs replacement, parts alone typically run in the range of $20 to $60, depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor for diagnosis and replacement can bring the total repair cost to roughly $100 to $250.

In many cases, yes. Start by unplugging the unit and locating the evaporator thermistor connector, then check that it is fully seated at both the sensor and the control board. If the connection is secure, you can test the thermistor with a multimeter for continuity. A confirmed open thermistor will need to be replaced, which is a manageable repair for someone comfortable working with appliance components.

A reset may temporarily clear the displayed error, but the code will return if the underlying problem with the thermistor circuit has not been resolved. The fault needs to be corrected physically, either by reseating the connector or replacing the thermistor, before the error will stay cleared.
