Possible Causes

Stuck or scaled float, Failed electronic water level sensor, Loose sensor wiring, Contaminated reservoir causing sensor misread

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and drain water from the reservoir.

  • Access the reservoir: Remove the top or front cover to expose the water tank and float or level sensor.
  • Clean the float: If a mechanical float is used, remove it and clean off mineral deposits or slime with warm water and mild detergent. Ensure it moves freely.
  • Inspect electronic sensor: For probe-type sensors, clean the probes with a soft cloth to remove scale.
  • Check wiring: Verify the sensor harness is firmly connected and not damaged.
  • Test sensor: Use a multimeter to check continuity of a float switch or follow Hisense resistance/voltage specs for electronic sensors. Replace if readings are incorrect.
  • Refill and test: Reassemble, refill with clean water, and restart the unit to see if E11 clears.
