Possible Causes

Dirty water level probes, Sticking float sensor, Air bubbles around sensor, Faulty water level sensor board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning sensors.

Steps:

  • Clean probes/float: Remove mineral deposits from the water level probes or float using a vinegar-water solution and soft cloth.
  • Remove bubbles: Gently tap the reservoir and sensor housing to release trapped air.
  • Re-seat reservoir: Ensure the tank is fully inserted so the sensor is correctly positioned.

If the unit still reports low water with a full, clean tank, the level sensor assembly may need replacement.
