What FILL WATER TANK WITH FRESH WATER
actually means.
Smeg's built-in machines take water from a front tank. The display asks for a refill when the level is low, and also when the tank has been replaced without being pushed until it clicks.

What to do when FILL WATER TANK WITH FRESH WATER 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.
Usually leads toCoffee 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 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 Smeg's own guidance for FILL WATER TANK WITH FRESH WATER on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Remove the tank, open its lid and fill with fresh cold water to the MAX line marked inside.
Close the lid and press the tank in until it clicks.
If the display keeps asking with a full, latched tank, book a visit to have the level reading checked.

What not to do
The prompt does not point to a pump or heater problem. It also appears at the end of a descale, when the rinse needs a tank filled all the way to MAX.

Still showing FILL WATER TANK WITH FRESH WATER?
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.
