Possible Causes

Dirty or scaled level sensor, sticking float in tank, faulty tank microswitch, control PCB misreading sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before removing the tank.

  • Clean tank: Wash the water tank with warm soapy water, paying attention to any floats or sensor windows.
  • Descale sensor area: If your model uses an optical sensor, clean the clear plastic surfaces thoroughly.
  • Check float movement: Ensure any float inside the tank moves freely and is not stuck by scale.
  • Service sensor: If the behavior remains erratic, the level sensor or its circuit may need professional service.
