Possible Causes
Stuck float or water level sensor, Mineral buildup on level probes, Misaligned tank not engaging valve properly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps:
- Reseat tank: Remove and reinstall the water tank, ensuring it is properly aligned and seated.
- Clean float/sensor: Access the base and clean the float or water level probes with vinegar to remove mineral deposits.
- Check float movement: Ensure the float moves freely up and down. Replace if waterlogged or cracked.
- Test: Refill the tank and observe operation. If it still shuts off prematurely, the level sensor or control board may be faulty.
Note: Some models have a small air vent in the tank cap; ensure it is not blocked, as this can prevent water from flowing into the base.
