U-Line CLR2060 One Flash: Overflow Protection Circuit Open (P-60)
One LED flash on a U-Line CLR2060 with the P-60 pump means the overflow protection circuit is open. The machine stops making ice to prevent a water overflow.
What does U-Line ice machine code CLR2060 one flash mean?
A single blink of the board LED on a U-Line CLR2060 clear ice machine tells you the overflow protection circuit is open. The machine in question uses the first-generation Echelon board and the P-60 pump; units without that pump do not use this circuit. The board stops ice making to keep water from running over. The LED blinks once, pauses and repeats, and no new ice is produced until the condition is gone.

How the ice machine detects CLR2060 one flash
A clear ice machine melts and drains water as part of making ice, and on the CLR2060 with the P-60 pump that water is moved out by the pump. The first-generation Echelon board watches a protection circuit that is meant to stay closed when all is well. If water builds up too far, the circuit opens.
One flash of the board LED is the board telling you that this overflow protection circuit is open. The board reacts by stopping the machine so it cannot keep adding water to a bin that is already too full. The LED then blinks once, pauses and repeats, and no new ice is made while the pattern continues. Cutting power and restoring it lets the board look at the circuit again. If the cause is gone, the machine restarts. If the water or the circuit problem is still there, the single flash returns.
Likely causes of CLR2060 one flash
- The overflow protection circuit reads open
- Water has risen high enough to trip the protection
- The drain pump on a P-60 equipped unit is not clearing water
Can you keep using the ice machine with CLR2060 one flash?
Do not keep restarting the machine over and over. The protection circuit is there to stop water from overflowing, and running past it risks a wet floor and damage to the cabinet. Unplug it, look for standing water, and dry it up. If one flash returns after a clean restart, leave the machine off and have the P-60 pump circuit tested.
What you can safely check
- Unplug the machine and give it a minute before touching anything near the bin or the drain.
- Make sure the drain line has no kink and runs freely.
- Wipe out any water standing in the bin.
- Plug the machine in and watch the LED.
- A single blink after the restart means you should contact us.
What our technician does for CLR2060 one flash
- Test the overflow protection circuit on the first-generation Echelon board
- Test the P-60 pump and its wiring
- Clear or repair the drain path that let water rise
- Confirm the LED stays steady after the repair
How to keep CLR2060 one flash from coming back
- Keep the drain line straight, with no kink or crushing from moved cabinets.
- Do not leave a lot of meltwater in the bin when you clean it.
- On a garage or lanai install, check that the drain path stays clear of dirt and leaves.

CLR2060 one flash questions
Does one flash show up on every CLR2060?
Only on units fitted with the P-60 pump. A machine without that pump has no such overflow circuit, so it cannot show this pattern at all.
Is one flash a sign of a leak?
It signals that the protection opened to stop an overflow. Look at the floor under and around the machine for water, and make sure the drain line has no kinks.
How does the machine get going again?
Interrupting power lets the board recheck the circuit once the cause is cleared. If the single flash comes back, the pump and the circuit need testing, and you see a written price first.
Is one flash the same as two flashes?
No. Two flashes on the CLR2060 point to an open thermistor or a machine running too warm, not to overflow. Count the blinks carefully before you describe the pattern, since the count tells the board's story.
Why does the machine need a power reset after one flash?
The board stops the machine to prevent water overflow and holds that state. Interrupting power makes it look at the circuit again. If the cause is cleared, ice making resumes; if not, the single flash returns.
