The water tank has two Magnets ( little black items incased in the plastic) they never really go bad but - could be lodged or missing
One magnet to determine the low water level and another to determine the high water level - the magnets could be lodged where they wil not move freely unless "persuaded" to
See if
1. they are both there
2. If perhaps one is lodged in a non loose free state (they should float when water is added to the tank. )

Hi,
You have to replace the gasket in the machine where the water tank goes in to the machine.

Hi,
The Primea do not have a float, it have a magnet and inside the machine there are a printed circuit card, this send a signal to the powerboard.
SOURCE: I get the message Fill
The float switch is a proximity sensor. There's a float in the tank that triggers the notification when it leaves the proximity of the sensor, located on the right side of the tank cavity. Try cleaning everything and make sure the float is moving freely in the tank.

there is a liltle floating black thing at the back of the container, this works as a magnet switch. see if it is there or is stuck and doesnt raise with the water level.
SOURCE: The Sensor Magnet for water tank does not float to the top
OK, first of all, I do not recommend my solution if you are forgetful or do not check your water level manually daily.
However, I found a super easy solution.
The way the unit works is to use a float in the water chamber with a magnet on the bottom. When their is enough water in the tank, the float rises and the magnet on the bottom floats to the top of the magnet chamber. When it floats up, it aligns with a sensor in the machine that allows the machine to operate. When the the water level lowers, so does the magnet and drops below the internal sensor disabling the machine with a "Fill Water Tank" error message.
To eliminate this error and allow the machine to operate, I simply popped off the lid to the magnet chamber with a butter knife and turned the water chamber up side down to let the magnet float fall out. Remember to empty the water first.
Here comes the highly technical part. Turn the magnet float upside down and slide it back into the float chamber. Since the actual magnet is on the bottom of the float it now is at the top allowing the internal sensor to turn off. No more error message!
The reason I do recommend this is because this completely defeats the purpose of the sensor and will most likely damage your machine if you run it without water. Keep you tank filled however and you will eliminate the frustration of a "float gone bad" keeping you from your morning caffeine.
In the user manual it says
What if F 10 shows?
- No water can be pumped from
the water tank.
- F 10 also shows, if 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
Technical Service.
