Tank level warnings can reflect seating, a stuck accessible float or an incorrectly closed lid. A full tank is only useful if the dock can draw from it correctly.

Start with these checks
- Remove and refit the clean-water tank using the documented alignment.
- Check the lid, seal and any user-serviceable level mechanism.
- Read the exact warning and compare it with the model's support guide.
What this looks like at home
A tank returned slightly crooked after filling can trigger an empty-water warning even when visibly full.
Keep clean water, dirty water and dry dust separate
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Clean-water side | Use the permitted water and solution method. |
| Dirty-water side | Empty and clean the removable tank as directed. |
| Pads, roller and tray | Inspect, clean and dry only as the manual allows. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not defeat a level sensor or open internal dock plumbing.
Buy a part only after identifying the cause
Check the exact model and part reference before buying. If cleaning resolves the problem, a replacement may be unnecessary.

What the result tells you
If reseating the tank clears the warning, observe the next wash before assuming the issue is resolved. A recurring message after correct refitting deserves an exact tank-and-dock model check with support.
