Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and remove the water tank. Keep electronics away from water.
Step-by-step:
- Inspect water tank: Check that the tank is the correct model for your ILIFE robot and that its plastic tabs are not broken.
- Clean detection contacts: If your model uses electrical contacts, wipe them on both the tank and robot with a dry cloth.
- Check mechanical latch/switch: Look for a small lever or switch where the tank slides in. Make sure it moves freely and is not blocked by dirt.
- Reinstall tank firmly: Slide the tank straight in until you hear or feel a click. Do not force it at an angle.
- Test in mop mode: Turn the robot ON and select mop mode. Confirm that E10 is cleared.
If E10 remains: The tank detection switch or sensor on the main board may be faulty. Replacement of the detection switch or main PCB may be required.
