U-Line Refrigerator Error Code 1 Flash

The 1 Flash code on a U-Line refrigerator with the CLR2060 control board means the overflow protection circuit associated with the P-60 drain pump is reading as open. This is a fault specific to units equipped with the P-60 pump. The control board expects a closed circuit from the overflow protection component during normal operation, and an open reading triggers this warning. A technician should inspect the pump assembly and circuit wiring to locate the fault.

Resetting the CLR2060 control board is unlikely to permanently clear the 1 Flash error if the underlying cause has not been corrected. Because this code is triggered by an actual open-circuit condition in the overflow protection circuit, the fault will return as soon as the board re-evaluates the circuit. The physical cause must be diagnosed and repaired first.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. Reconnecting a loose wiring harness or cleaning corroded terminals may only involve a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. Replacing a failed float switch or P-60 pump will add parts costs, which can bring the total repair estimate to anywhere from $150 to $400 or more depending on the specific component and labor rates in your area.

Start by inspecting the P-60 pump and the overflow protection circuit wiring for any disconnected connectors, broken wires, or corroded terminals. Test the overflow protection float switch for continuity using a multimeter. If the switch reads open when it should be closed, it will need to be replaced. If wiring is intact and the switch tests correctly, the P-60 pump itself may need to be replaced.

The overflow protection circuit exists to prevent water from overflowing the drain pan, which could cause water damage or create a slip hazard. If the circuit is open and the P-60 pump is not operating correctly, there is a risk of uncontrolled condensate accumulation. It is advisable to address this fault promptly rather than continuing to run the unit without the protection circuit functioning.
