Error message states no water, but there is...

My coffee maker shows the error that I don't have water in the reservoir, but I do.  It even shows up on the gauge.

    It has to do with salt build-up from hard water. Clean the machine. I put in more vinegar than suggested and ran vinegar through at least three times. It now works. No more "Empty water reservoir" icon.

Unplug the device and plug back in after 1 min. If it still fails, then you have a dirty water level sensor or the control circuit board is fried. Empty the water out and fill it with vinegar as full as you can without overflowing. Let it soak overnight and turn the machine on (without coffee in it). Turn off after 30 secs.Turn on again and allow it to finish the cycle.  Discard the vinegar. Run three more brewing cycles with water only and it will be OK to use. If this does not cure it, then the only cost effective way is to replace it.

    Well,a BIG thank you for your tip of using vinegar to stop the error message of "fill the water". Our coffee machine is back functioning again. Much appreciated that you have posted this tip!

Flashing Light Error on Tasimo Coffeemaker
That blinking error light! I still could not fix it with the other solutions.
I cleaned it, refilled it, and nothing worked.

Here is what I have done that made it work.

There is a floating magnet in the water reservoir. When it drops down,
the error light is SUPPOSED to come on.

I found by jamming a scrap piece of clean plastic in the magnet cavity on the water side of the magnet. This forces the magnet to stay in the up position AND against the sensor contained in the machine itself. NOW the error STAYS OFF. Hurray! So far, it works!

Note: You must monitor the water level under this new circumstance because the error light will not come on even if the water level drops down.

My kuerig is now showing an error message when i hit start heating. What should i do?
Hello, Eileen -

Whenever your Keurig displays an error message look in the owner's manual to see what the error message means.

If you do not have the owner's manual for your Keurig, you can send an email to Keurig Customer Care here:
http://www.keurig.com/content/support/email-us-page

Since you did not state the model name/number of your Keurig and did not state what error message displayed, I cannot help you further.

Best wishes.

I have descaled my coffee maker twice in succession but the red calcium light is still flashing. Have you any suggestions please.
It is advisable to remove that error message. One will not know when the functions will suddenly stop. This is like continuing to drive the car even when "No oil" message is on.
You have not stated the make and model for me to suggest how to get rid of the error message.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edward_bbd2c7ff4ee1828a

Display says prime. What do I do
I removed the resevoir and pressed the hole where the water enters the machine. There will be a bit of water that should come out and then put the water reservoir back in.

No matter how much water is in the reservoir, the Add Water error message won't allow unit to work.
Hi take out the water tank and place a magnet where the float would sit. If the machine works, then the float is faulty or upside down. If it doesn't work then the sensor behind the magnet is faulty. Replace it. dazza

My coffee pot has an error saying PRIME, and will not work. Could you tell me what the problem is?

On the water reservoir there is a little black disk, a magnet, I think... If that is not against the machine it will display the prime error. Empty the water from the reservoir and tilt it so that the disk is against the machine. Place the reservoir empty back on the machine and fill it with water carefully as not to move the disk. When the water level gets to the correct position, the prime error will go away.

the water tank.

was not filled correctly during

descaling.

- Fill the system with water. See "Before

using the coffee system for the first

time".

- Remove and reinsert the water tank.

- Refill to the mark and restart descaling.

- If the message still shows, contact

It says the water reservoir has not been filled even when there is water in it. I'm unable to make coffee and keep getting this error signal.
The thermal cutoff fuse is bad. Fuse is located on the side of the heating element. No continuity will indicate failed switch. replace as assembly with heating element.

When I pour water into (empty) pot to fill. Bunn coffee maker
If you pour water into the machine, and water comes out, then the reservoir is full of water. There is no way the water can bypass the reservoir and go directly into the pot.
