    Abstract: A controller is configured to monitor the pressure measurement of the pressure sensor and record an ambient temperature measurement in response to the pressure measurement stabilizing. Activate the pump and a timer in response to a drain cycle starting. The controller also configured to record a turbidity measurement from the turbidity sensor, a conductivity measurement from the conductivity sensor, and a temperature measurement from the temperature sensor and compare the turbidity measurement to a reference turbidity value, the conductivity measurement to a reference conductivity value, and the temperature measurement to the ambient temperature measurement. Then determine either a presence or an absence of fluid in the wash tub based at least in part on the turbidity measurement, the conductivity measurement, and the temperature measurement, and deactivate the pump in response to either the timer expiring or the determination of the absence of fluid in the wash tub.
