Possible Causes

Stuck water level float in tank, Blocked level sensor in tank housing, Faulty water level switch or sensor, Wiring issue to level sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the water tank.

  • 1. Inspect water tank: Remove the tank and check for a small float or magnet inside. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck by dirt or limescale.
  • 2. Clean tank and housing: Rinse the tank with warm water and mild detergent. Wipe the housing contacts or sensor area with a soft cloth.
  • 3. Reinsert tank correctly: Slide the tank fully into place until it clicks; an improperly seated tank can trigger the warning.
  • 4. When to call a technician: If the warning persists, the level sensor or its wiring may be faulty and require replacement.
