Possible Causes

Warped tank plastic, Debris in tank guide rails, Damaged or bent alignment tabs, Swollen seals causing friction

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before forcing any parts.

  • 1. Inspect guides and rails: Look at the tank guides on the base and the mating surfaces on the tank. Remove any debris or mineral buildup.
  • 2. Lubricate seals lightly: Wipe tank O-rings with a damp cloth, then apply a very thin film of food-grade silicone grease if recommended by the manufacturer.
  • 3. Align carefully: Insert the tank straight down, aligning any arrows or marks. Do not twist or force it.
  • 4. Replace damaged tank: If the tank appears warped or cracked, replace it. Forcing a damaged tank can cause leaks and sensor issues.
