U-Line Clear Ice Maker Drain Blocked: Pump Overloaded With LED 3 Flashing

What Drain Blocked means

On U-Line clear ice makers such as the CLR2060, CLR2160 and CO1224F, Drain Blocked means the drain pump is blocked or overloaded. LED 3 flashes, and the number of flashes tells us more. One flash points to an open overflow circuit, and two flashes point to an open thermistor. The overflow condition is also called P60. You see the light flashing and the machine stops making ice.

Common causes of Drain Blocked

The drain pump is blocked or overloaded
The overflow circuit is open (one flash)
A thermistor is open (two flashes)

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Count the LED 3 flashes and write the number down. 2. Switch the machine off and let it rest a few minutes. 3. Check that the drain hose is not kinked or crushed. 4. Make sure the drain outlet is clear. 5. Switch it back on and call us if LED 3 starts flashing again.

! Why to stop there

The flash count decides which part we test first
A blocked pump pushed to run again overheats
We state the price first and warrant the repair for 30 days

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.

Drain BlockedDrain Blocked questions

What do the LED 3 flashes tell you?

One flash means the overflow circuit is open, and two flashes mean a thermistor is open. The overall condition is a blocked or overloaded drain pump. Tell us the count when you call.

Is P60 the same thing?

P60 is the overflow label for the one-flash case. It belongs to the same Drain Blocked indication on these clear ice models, so the flash count and P60 describe the same event.

Can I clear it by emptying the bin?

Emptying the bin does not address a pump problem. Checking that the drain hose is straight is worthwhile, but a repeating flash pattern needs us to test the pump circuit.
