Possible Causes

Stuck magnetic float in tank, Dirty conductivity probes, Faulty reed switch or sensor, Broken sensor wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

User-level fixes:

  • Clean tank: Remove the water tank, wash with mild detergent, and ensure the float moves freely.
  • Descale probes: If your model uses metal probes, clean them with descaler and a soft cloth.

Technical checks (unplug first):

  • Test reed switch: Move a magnet near the sensor location and check if the machine detects water. Replace the reed switch if it does not respond.
  • Inspect wiring: Check continuity from the sensor to the control board and repair any breaks.
