E2 – Trash Compactor error code

Uline Trash Compactor error code

E2 on a Uline trash compactor is the published sensor / thermistor shorted code—the same sensor circuit as E1, but reading as a short rather than an open. The control treats it as out-of-range and may park the appliance in a safe state.

Do not run multiple cycles back-to-back hoping the code will clear. Document the message and stop use until inspected.

FAQ

Uline service—answered clearly

Process, pricing, and what to expect during your visit.

E1 and E2 are sensor / thermistor faults (open and shorted respectively). The compactor may still cycle, but force-feeding it after a sensor fault can stress the motor and ram—pause use and call.

E11 / EE is the appliance flagging an EEPROM or control-board memory error. That usually requires technician work; do not repeat power-cycle resets indefinitely—document the code and reach out.

Drawer-open codes (E3) often relate to switches or alignment after heavy bag loads. We inspect rollers, switch arms, and the latch path before recommending parts.
