What All lights flashing means
When every light flashes on the GE Profile 15-inch undercounter nugget ice machine UNC15 (UNC15NJII and UNC15NPRII), the auger motor is not working or is overloaded. The auger is the screw that moves and compresses ice. The machine stops making nuggets, and the whole panel flashes until the condition is dealt with, so you will see no ice production. It is a protective stop.
Common causes of All lights flashing
- Auger motor overloaded by ice or scale buildup
- Auger motor not turning
- Mineral buildup because cleaning was overdue
- Control not receiving a proper motor signal
1. Press ON/OFF to reset the machine. 2. Wait for the lights to settle. 3. Check that the Time to Clean light is not on; if it is, clean the machine as instructed. 4. If the lights keep flashing after the reset, call us.
- If the reset does not stop the flashing, the motor still cannot turn the auger.
- We check for ice or scale binding the auger, then test the motor and its drive.
- A written price comes first, and we explain whether cleaning or a part is needed.

Why are all lights flashing on my UNC15?
The auger motor is not working or is overloaded. The machine stops to protect itself. It protects the motor and the auger from damage, so the machine stops making ice.
How do I reset it?
Press ON/OFF. If that does not reset the motor and the lights continue to flash, the machine needs service. If this is the second time it happened, mention that to us.
Could scale cause this?
Buildup can make the auger work harder, so keep up with cleaning. We check for it when we test the motor. A cleaning check is a good first step.
