Possible Causes

Warped or damaged water tank, Debris in tank guide rails, Misaligned tank presence switch, Worn tank latch mechanism

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before forcing the tank in or out.

  • Inspect guides: Check the tank rails and guides for debris or mineral buildup. Clean with a damp cloth and dry.
  • Check tank shape: Inspect the water tank for warping or cracks that could cause binding. Replace if deformed.
  • Align switch: Verify that the tank presence switch or magnet sensor aligns with the tank when installed. Adjust the switch bracket if it has shifted.
  • Lubricate lightly: If plastic-on-plastic friction is high, a tiny amount of food-safe silicone spray on the rails can help (avoid overspray into the basin).
