Lately I have been getting error messages of C1 or is it CL, and also FL. Seems to stick on these messages, if I unplug it for several hours and then restart it, it SOMETIMES continues to run. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Steve

Still getting error messages of LD,CL, and especially FL. Still have to unplug it for quite a while before it will pump out the water and start running again. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. !! Steve

I would start by taking off the pump and thoroughly cleaning it out along with the drain hoses. Let's see what that does, if anything, for you.
