What FILL TANK!
actually means.
The F7BC24B1 reads the tank level before each drink. When the level is too low, or the tank sits a little proud of its seat, the display asks for water and no coffee is made until the tank is back in place with enough water in it.

What to do when FILL 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.

Fulgor Milano 24-inch built-in coffee machine F7BC24B1, sold in the US alone as the 24-inch Sofia unit and as the base unit behind the 30-inch Sofia, Distinto (F7DTK30BC) and Matteo (F7MTK30BC) trim kits; the 24-inch Distinto F7BC24S1 shares its specification. The 2025 Matteo 24-inch F7MBC24S1 / F7MBC24MB1 lists the same tank and hopper, but its manual could not be read, so its wording is not confirmed here.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fulgor Milano's own guidance for FILL TANK! on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Lift the tank out, rinse it and fill it with cold fresh tap water up to the MAX line, not bottled mineral water.
Slide the tank back and press it all the way in until it stops.
If the message stays with a full tank, empty and wipe the tank seat, reseat it once more, then book a visit so the level sensing can be checked.
Still there?
It usually turns into coffee machine pump repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
A little water still sitting in the tank when the message appears is normal, and Fulgor says so in the manual. The message also appears at the end of every descale cycle, where it simply asks for clean water for the next brew.

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.
