NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.

Sounds like the cold control has stuck . Unplug the two wires from the cold control and plug them together. Turn one wire over and plug it into the other. away from the cold control.
The cold control is the knob in the ref that turns it on and off and has numbers on it. (Thermostat)
If it runs then that cold control (Thernostat) is the problem.
If that doesn't work DO THIS:
The relay on the compressor may need replaced
A relay starts the compressor with a higher voltage and then quickly kicks out
Thats what is happening with yours
Its best for a tech to replace The relay but you can do it
Take your model number to your Local Appliance parts store they will have a diagram
showing you how to install the relay. Its called a hard start relay
also try hooking the two wires together on the cold control to route around the cold control.
Be sure the BACK COVER is in place and hasnt been accidently removed.

ULine U-2115WCS Wine Fridge flashing "ER" after temp.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to a better category..

The Thermistor has failed or is failing. It is the temperature sensor that is basically your electronic thermostat.
Troubleshooting Guide: U-Line Refrigerator Error Codes U-Line refrigerator troubleshooting begins with cracking the codes. Let's take a look at U-Line brand error codes.


Error Code ER

Diagnosis: Thermistor 1 is open

Explanation:
The U-Line refrigerator error code ER is alerting you to a failed thermistor. Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. These provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If you have a U-Line wine cooler, for example, it will include ambient temperature surrounding the refrigerator unit.
If the thermistor 1 fails, the refrigerator will continue to operate on a preset 10 minutes on and 30 minutes off time interval.

Solution:
Use an accurate ohm meter to test the thermistor. If the thermistor is defective, have it replaced.

Frost building up in rear grates of undercounter 24 inch wine refrigerator. model VBCI1240GRSS.just noticed. keep temp at 48 degrees live in south Carolina. unit is less than 2 years old.

temp too cold and door seal not effective are 2 reason for this
48 F is too cold for wines (8.8 C) and continually opening and closing of the door allows humidity into the cabinet that results in frost and ice

Wine cooler (uline) not cooling, previously had thermostat replaced

Make sure that you have enough air flow around the unit and that the grill on the bottom is clean and free of dust/pet hair ect..also take into consideration of the location of the unit... make sure it is not next to a heated appliance like a dishwasher or range. and remember that it is not a frig it is a wine cooler so it will not get really cold.... if it has a glass front make sure it is not sitting in direct sunlight for extend periods of time as this will cause the unit to run excessively. I hope this helps.. I hate warm wine..

My uline refrigerator won't get cold at all. Was

If the refrigeration motor is running and it is not getting cold then it probably is low on freon the gas that is used for refrigeration. Also if the motor only runs for a few minutes then stops it is possible that the cold control is bad, This is a common problem in refrigerators and can be fixed by replacing the control. First you must determine that the motor is in fact running. If the motor is running the motor should feel warm to the touch after 10 to 20 minutes of operation, and you should feel some cooling in the refrigerator on the cooling or evaporator coil. If the motor is running and getting warm or hot and you feel no or very little cooling then it is in fact ether low on freon or a component in the refrigeration system is malfunctioning. Freon can only be replaced by a certified technician.

Describe your uline wine cooler Problem ULINE WC2015: Light comes on but unit won't run. Cleaned as discussed in owners manual. Need help!

OK if you have a 20 series and you have a light and no fan or compressor then you need a thermostat. This will have 2 wires to it and if you bypass the thermostat the unit should run. If it does then replace the thermostat
