What REFILL WITH STILL WATER or REMOVE FILTER
actually means.

Thermador groups the tank level and the filter into one prompt because either can starve the pump. On the tank model a crooked tank, soda water or a stuck float is the usual reason; on either model a filter that was never rinsed, is used up or holds air gives the same result.

What to do when REFILL WITH STILL WATER or REMOVE FILTER shows on the coffee machine

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for REFILL WITH STILL WATER or REMOVE FILTER on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

On the TCM24TS, take the tank out, refill with fresh still tap water and seat it squarely; clean it if the float sticks.

02

Take the filter out, dip it until no more bubbles rise, and push it back; if it is past two months, fit a new Thermador filter instead.

03

On the plumbed TCM24PS, confirm the shut-off valve under the counter is fully open; if the prompt stays, book a visit.

Still there?

It usually turns into coffee machine pump repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

It is not REPLACE WATER FILTER, which is only the filter's timed reminder while water still flows. Water on the cabinet floor is a leak and needs the shut-off valve closed first.

Questions
about REFILL WITH STILL WATER or REMOVE FILTER.

Can I clear REFILL WITH STILL WATER or REMOVE FILTER myself?
On the TCM24TS, take the tank out, refill with fresh still tap water and seat it squarely; clean it if the float sticks. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
My plumbed Thermador shows REMOVE FILTER. Does it still use a filter?
Yes. The TCM24PS guide still lists a water filter, and this prompt means the filter was not rinsed, is used up or holds air. Rinse or replace it, or set the filter to removed in the menu if you take it out for good.
Can hard water set off this prompt on a Thermador?
Indirectly. Scale on the float can make it stick, which Thermador lists as a cause; cleaning the tank and keeping up with descaling prevents it.
Do I need a Thermador brand filter to clear this?
Thermador sells its own filters and warns about counterfeits. A filter that does not seal in its seat lets air in and brings the prompt straight back.

Back to your everyday

Still showing REFILL WITH STILL WATER or REMOVE FILTER?

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.
