Introduction
The water level of the machine is detected by a sensor inside, as well as a float with magnets in the water tank.[
In the case of this error, despite the water tank being inserted and filled, the machine thinks that there is too little water in the tank and indicates this by the red flashing of the water tank indicator light (far left). (see also video)
Due to aging of the magnet, as well as vibration or temperature, the magnet in the water tank can lose power.
Replacing this magnet or the float is not possible without destroying the water tank or replacing it completely.
However, the solution to this is the position optimization of the sensor inside the device.
