There is a oneway valve in the water pipe next to the water tank or water pump, that will stop water from going into the tank from the water pipe system. There is a overflow drain pipe when the tank is full water will spill on the ground, be sure thats not plugged, or the water will come out of the tank fill port. Where does the floor start to get soaked? Thats probably where you may find a broken pipe or problem.
There is usually some sort of sensor to determine if the tank is full or empty. Some use a float mechanism, some have a electronic beam of some description. Have a look where the tank goes into the machine and make sure everything is clean.
THANK YOU. You're answer was so helpful. I have the XP7230 and all of the sudden had exact same problem, machine wouldn't not register a full tank. After reading this I checked the floating piece and saw that it was not floating with a full tank like it is supposed to. Had to obstruct it to keep it afloat as well, and voila, it worked.
Ahh... what a relief to have my machine working again. Coffee has never tasted so good.
This looks like a fault. The plastic tank has two reed switches that measure 'tank empty' and 'tank half full'. When the tank is empty the inlet solenoids (there are 2 for safety) open and water enters the tank but not so much to fill the tank to the half way level. In normal operation the level water in the tank will drop and then more water is allowed in. In your case it appears the 'half full' reed switch is being activated because the solenoids are not closing off properly and water is leaking in and filling the tank. If you do not empty it then eventually it will fill and leak into the leak. The problem can be caused by either low water pressure (below 145 psi) or sticky solenoid. If is the solenoid then the Miele solution will be to replace both solenoids. Alternately you may be able to remove, take apart and clean. Also check that you have a mesh filter at connection to tap. Also you can temporarily fix the problem by turning off the water at the tap and re-programming machine to 'turn off' the plumed water line. regards
It means that you need to fill up the system, inside the machine. Push the Water portion button, then it should flow water from the watertube. If you`re having trouble with this, change the water in the tank with luke warm water, this usually solves the problem after a few attempts.
If nothing happens and no water comes out, the solenoid valve is defective and must be changed.
What you would have to do is take the side panel off to get at the solenoid. It is probably sticking closed and not letting the water fill into the boiler.
did you open the side valve to ventilate the air in the system in our water tank do you have a little magnet its in the water tank maybe it stuck downshake the water tank to move the magnet up pierre
Probably have air in the system - it needs to be flushed,
Run the tea portion hot water for a while.
If not check the manual on how else to flush the system
