How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the water reservoir on built-in or plumbed models.
Steps to clear ADD / Add Water:
- Refill reservoir: Fill the water tank with clean, potable water up to the MAX line. Avoid using distilled water if the manual advises against it, as some sensors rely on conductivity.
- Reseat reservoir: Ensure the tank is fully inserted and properly aligned with its contacts or valves.
- Clean sensor area: If the indicator remains on, empty the tank and clean the reservoir and water level sensor or probes with white vinegar to remove mineral buildup.
- Reset unit: Plug the unit back in and press the power button to restart the cycle.
- Sensor replacement: If the ADD warning persists with a full, clean tank, replace the water level sensor assembly.
