How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before handling the tank.

Steps:

  • Check tank vent: Inspect the small air vent hole in the tank cap. Clean any blockage with a toothpick or pin.
  • Test valve movement: Press the spring-loaded valve in the cap to ensure it moves freely and opens fully.
  • Refill and reinstall: Fill the tank, tighten the cap, and reinstall. Watch for air bubbles rising into the base, indicating water flow.
  • Re-seat tank: If no bubbles appear, remove and reseat the tank to ensure proper alignment.
  • Replace cap assembly: If the valve or vent is damaged, replace the tank cap assembly.
