Electrolux Under-Counter Ice Maker Shows CL: Clean Cycle Running

Low risk · DIY check OK

Code: CL
Appliance: Ice Maker
Brand: Electrolux
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What CL means

When the display of an Electrolux under-counter ice maker, such as the E15IM60GSS or E15IM60GPS, shows CL, the unit is in its clean cycle. This is a status message, not a problem. While it runs, the ice maker is not making ice, and the display stays on CL until the cycle ends. Owners often see it right after starting a cleaning on purpose, or after pressing a key they did not mean to. Give the cycle time to finish before you judge whether anything is wrong.

Common causes of CL

Clean cycle started on purpose
Clean cycle started by an accidental key press
Control that keeps entering the cycle on its own

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Leave the unit alone and let the clean cycle finish. 2. Make sure the bin door is closed. 3. After the display returns to normal, check that ice starts forming again. 4. If CL stays on for a very long time or returns by itself, call us.

! Why to stop there

CL is a status, so the only open question is why it keeps appearing, and we check the keypad and control for that.
We test whether the unit goes back to making ice after the cycle.
We give a written price before we start, and the work carries a 30-day warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

CLCL questions

Is CL an error?

No. CL means the clean cycle is running. The ice maker is working as designed, and it will not make ice until the cycle is done, so give it time before you decide anything is wrong.

Can I stop the cycle?

Use the controls on the unit to end it, but a cleaning left half done is not ideal. If you did not start it yourself, check the keypad for an accidental press.

When should I call you?

Call us if CL never ends, comes back by itself, or the unit does not go back to making ice after the cycle has finished, since that points to the control.
