How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before inspecting sensors.

  • Clean water tank: Wash the tank with warm soapy water, paying attention to the float or magnet area. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Check float movement: Ensure the float moves freely up and down.
  • Reseat tank firmly: Insert the tank fully so the outlet valve opens.
  • Bleed air: Run a hot water cycle to remove air from the intake line.
  • If issue persists: The internal level sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
