Abstract
A washing machine appliance, a controller, and a method for operating a washing machine appliance are provided. The appliance includes a controller operably coupled to a motor assembly that is operably coupled to a wash basket, and a drain pump assembly. The controller is configured to rotate the wash basket to at least a desired speed; determine one or more of whether at least the desired speed of the wash basket is achieved within a period of time, or whether an energy parameter threshold of a motor assembly is exceeded when rotating the wash basket within the period of time; and generate an output signal corresponding to fluid detection at a wash tub when the wash basket fails to rotate to at least the desired speed within the period of time or, when the energy parameter threshold is exceeded when rotating the wash basket within the period of time.
