E8 displayed, machine stops, water level appears incorrect or inconsistent.

Safety first: Disconnect from mains before working inside the water reservoir area.

• 1. Empty and inspect reservoir: Remove the water reservoir and empty it. Look for a plastic float or metal water level probes inside the tank or base.
• 2. Clean float or probes: If your model uses a float, move it up and down to ensure free movement. Clean any limescale or slime with warm water and mild detergent. For probe-type sensors, gently scrub the metal rods with a soft brush to remove mineral deposits.
• 3. Check for obstructions: Ensure no labels, plastic film, or foreign objects are interfering with the float or probes.
• 4. Inspect wiring: Follow the sensor wires to the main control PCB. Reseat connectors and check for damage.
• 5. Refill and reset: Reassemble, refill the reservoir to the correct level, and plug the unit back in. Start a cycle and monitor for recurrence of E8.
• 6. Replace sensor: If the error persists, replace the water level sensor assembly (float switch or probe harness) with a compatible Lakeland part.
