Possible Causes

Stuck float in recovery tank, Dirty float chamber, Faulty float switch or sensor, Misaligned recovery tank lid

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and remove the recovery tank.

  • Clean the tank: Rinse the recovery tank thoroughly with warm water. Pay special attention to the float chamber.
  • Free the float: Ensure the float moves freely up and down. Remove hair or debris that may be jamming it.
  • Check lid seal: Make sure the tank lid is properly seated and the gasket is intact so the float operates correctly.
  • Sensor check: If the float is free but E12 persists, the float switch or electronic level sensor inside the machine may be faulty and should be replaced.
