The Logic Verdict

Did you break a glass recently? A shard of glass or a popcorn kernel often gets stuck in the pump impeller.

What It Means

C1 = Pump Blocked. The drain pump is drawing too much current (working too hard).

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Remove Filter: Take out the fine mesh filter at the bottom of the tub.
  2. Vacuum: Use a wet/dry vac to suck out the water in the sump.
  3. Inspect: Look for debris in the sump pit.
  4. Garbage Disposal: If your dishwasher drains into a disposal, make sure the disposal isn’t clogged. Run the disposal with water.
