The CM242WTXT draws every drink from its removable tank. When the level falls too low, or the tank has been put back without its final click, the screen shows this line and holds the next drink. Bertazzoni coffee machine display What to do when Fill water tank with fresh water shows on the coffee machine ### Kind of code Water and tank The machine asked for water and did not get what it expected: the tank is empty, sits off its seat or has a float the sensor cannot see, air is trapped in the line, or the flowmeter counted too little water passing in the time allowed. On a plumbed unit the same message can mean a closed shutoff, a kinked supply hose or a clogged inlet valve. Reseating a full tank and running a rinse clears the simple cases; a pump that hums with nothing moving is a visit. ### Usually leads to Coffee machine pump repair Testing and replacing the pump that drives water through the coffee, with the flowmeter that counts each cup and the valves beside it. ### Shows up as What a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking. ### Make Bertazzoni When a Bertazzoni coffee machine stops pouring, the visit starts at the water tank seat and the grounds drawer before any part is suspected. ### Source Bertazzoni CM242WTXT 24-inch built-in coffee maker installation, user and maintenance manual (US) Bertazzoni's only US coffee machine, the Professional Series CM242WTXT 24-inch built-in coffee maker with a 4.3-inch touch display.

Remove the tank, give it a rinse, then fill with cold tap water up to MAX. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Bertazzoni coffee maker ask for water with the tank half full? The tank is probably not fully clicked in, so the machine cannot draw from it. Pull it out and push it back until it clicks. ### How much water does the Bertazzoni CM242WTXT tank hold? Bertazzoni lists 2.5 liters, which covers a good number of espressos before a refill. Long drinks and rinse cycles empty it faster. ### Why does my Bertazzoni ask for a third rinse after descaling? The tank was not filled to the MAX line for one of the two rinses. Empty the drip tray first, then follow the screen and fill the tank all the way. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni Fill water tank with fresh water: the CM242WTXT is low on water](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-fill-water-tank-with-fresh-water/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
