Possible Causes
Empty water reservoir, Misaligned removable water tank, Faulty water level float or sensor, Mineral buildup preventing float movement
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn the unit off before removing the water tank to avoid spills into electrical components.
Resolution:
- Refill reservoir: Remove the water tank and fill with clean, potable water up to the MAX line. Reinstall firmly until it clicks or seats fully.
- Bleed air: On some Sencor models, tilting the unit slightly backward for a few seconds after refilling helps remove air pockets from the intake.
- Clean float: If the message remains, remove the tank and inspect the float mechanism. Clean any scale or slime with warm water and a soft brush so the float can move freely.
- Check sensor: If the float is clean and moving but the message persists, the water level sensor / float switch may be faulty and require replacement.
