Possible Causes

Stuck tank float, Faulty float magnet, Failed reed switch in machine, Misaligned water tank

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the machine before lifting or tilting.

  • Check tank seating:
    • Remove and reseat the water tank firmly.
    • Ensure no debris is preventing full engagement.
  • Inspect float:
    • Verify the float in the tank moves freely and rises when the tank is filled.
    • Clean the tank with warm soapy water if the float is sticky.
  • Test with another tank (if available): If you have access to a known-good Sage tank, test to rule out a defective float.
  • Reed switch (advanced):
    • Locate the reed switch near the tank area inside the machine.
    • Test it with a small magnet; the ADD WATER message should change when the magnet is brought near.
  • Repair: Replace the water tank if the float or magnet is defective. Replace the reed switch assembly if it does not respond to a magnet.
