this is usually due to the overtemp device activated on one of the thermoblocks, an engineer will be required to replace this item,

SOURCE: Franke coffee system, always same error message ''fill water tank''

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.

Hi.I think its a temperature measuring fault in the steam circuit. Most likely to be the thermal sensor on the thermoblock. Check to see if the sensor wires are broken or corroded. Can also be the control board. I'll put my money on the thermal sensor. Dazza REPAIRER
