# Fisher & Paykel FILL TANK WITH FRESH WATER: the coffee maker's tank is low

The Series 9 coffee makers run from a removable tank, 81 fl oz on the 30-inch models, that sits behind a door you open by pulling the coffee dispenser forward.

## What FILL TANK WITH FRESH WATER actually means.

The Series 9 coffee makers run from a removable tank, 81 fl oz on the 30-inch models, that sits behind a door you open by pulling the coffee dispenser forward. When the level drops too low, the machine stops and asks for fresh water. Fisher & Paykel suggests fresh water every day for the best taste.

What to do when FILL 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 Fisher & Paykel

A Fisher and Paykel built-in coffee maker is looked at where it stands in the cabinet, with the drip tray, the tank and the milk tube checked on the counter first.

### Source Fisher & Paykel EB30MSB3 and EB30PSX1 built-in coffee maker user guide (US CA, 592467B)

Fisher & Paykel Series 9 built-in coffee makers: 30-inch EB30MSB3 (Minimal) and EB30PSX1 (Professional), and the 24-inch EB24 models, which print the same text in capitals.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for FILL TANK WITH FRESH WATER on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Pull the coffee dispenser forward to open the door and lift out the water tank.

02

Take off the lid, fill with fresh water up to the MAX line and refit the lid.

03

Set the tank back and push it until it clicks into place, then close the door.

04

If a brimming tank that has clicked home still triggers the prompt, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [coffee machine pump repair](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/services/coffee-machine-pump-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

This is a low-water prompt, not a missing-tank prompt; Fisher & Paykel shows INSERT WATER TANK when the tank is out of place. It also has nothing to do with a water line, since these models have none.

### Built-in coffee system

The coffee machine set flush into a tall kitchen cabinet, filled from a water tank behind its front, grinding beans and brewing each cup on its own before sliding out on rails for service.

## In Fisher & Paykel's own words
