What Please fill the water tank
actually means.
The machine reads the tank level with a float and a sensor. When the tank is set in crooked, the float is stuck in scale, carbonated water was used or a new filter was never rinsed, the reading stays empty even though you can see water.

What to do when Please fill the water tank shows on the coffee machineKind of codeWater 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.

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 asWhat 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for Please fill the water tank on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Lift the tank out, empty it, and refill with fresh still tap water, never sparkling.
Check that the float inside moves freely; clean the tank thoroughly if it sticks.
If you use a filter, hold it under water with the opening up until no bubbles rise, press it straight down into its seat and set the tank back firmly.

What not to do
It is not Error in water system, which the 800 Series shows for a problem past the tank. A tank that drips on the counter is a leak complaint rather than a level reading.

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
