  • Reinstall bucket: Slide the bucket in firmly until it clicks or seats fully. Make sure it is not tilted.
  • Check bucket switch: Locate the bucket full switch near the bucket cavity. Manually press the switch lever and see if the indicator changes (with power restored briefly).
  • Replace switch or bucket: If the switch does not respond, replace the switch. If the bucket is warped and not engaging the switch, replace the water bucket.
