What E oP
actually means.
Extractors fitted with a temperature sensor use it to manage heating. When the reading drops below 0°F, UniMac treats the sensor as open and disables the heater and every sensor-based step for the rest of the cycle.

What to do when E oP shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeSensors and probes
A probe is handing the controller a reading it cannot trust, or none at all: a box or coil sensor torn loose from its clip, a fryer probe coated in carbon from oil left too long between filterings, a combi core probe with a kinked cable, or a connector gone green from steam and cleaning chemicals. The unit then runs on, stops, or shuts the heat or the cooling off to protect itself. Letting it cool and restarting it as the manual describes is fair; a probe that still reads wrong sits behind a panel, and that is a visit.

Shows up asCommercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display
A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from UniMac's own guidance for E oP on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the cycle finish; the machine will wash without temperature control.
Power the machine down and back up to see whether the reading recovers.
Book a visit if E oP returns, so the sensor and its wiring can be tested.
Still there?
It usually turns into commercial controls and board repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
E oP is the opposite of E SH, which reports a shorted sensor reading above 220°F. Neither code means the water really is that temperature.

Still showing E oP?
A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
