The tank has to seat fully behind the dispenser door before the coffee maker will draw from it. A tank set down short of its stop, or a lid not closed so the tank sits high, reads as absent. The fix is to reseat it; the message is separate from the low-water prompt. Fisher & Paykel coffee machine display · also shown as Insert water tank What to do when INSERT WATER TANK 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.

Open the dispenser door and pull the tank out. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Fisher & Paykel coffee maker says INSERT WATER TANK but the tank is in. Why? It is probably not all the way in. Pull it out, check the lid, and push it until it clicks. ### Can a water filter in the tank cause INSERT WATER TANK on a Fisher & Paykel? Fisher & Paykel does not list it as a cause. If the filter is fitted as the guide shows, the tank should seat normally. ### Does INSERT WATER TANK appear during a Fisher & Paykel descale? It can, if you take the tank out to rinse it and do not reseat it fully before continuing. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel INSERT WATER TANK: the tank is not clicked into place](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-insert-water-tank/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
