Introduction

The orange LED on the right with the water tap symbol flashes. Ironing is not possible despite repeated plugging and unplugging of the water tank. Emptying and filling the water tank also does not change.

Technical problem: Magnet of the float in the water tank has come loose. The Iron “thinks” there is no water tank inserted.

Solution favorable:

Stick a flat magnet on the magnet position of a full water tank. After that, everything works as usual, but you have to watch out for falling below the minimum level in the water tank. For us, however, a sustainable solution without major drawbacks.

Solution expensive:

New purchase of the water tank e.g. here:
