Sage
Water Tank Level Detection Error
Machine displays 'ADD WATER' even when the tank is full
Advertisements
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.
