From looking online I know that you can overcome this problem by adding a more powerful light rare earth magnet to the top of the float in the water tank, or by shorting out the reed switch connectors on the control board inside the machine (although this fix means the machine thinks there's always water so not ideal) however because I'm fixing this problem for a friend I'd like to solve the problem "properly".
First I bought a new DeLonghi ESAM4200.S reed switch to replace the one internally. Fitted it but the problem remained. So I then bought a whole new water tank because I couldn't find a supplier selling just the float. The new tank with new float made no difference even using the new sensor.
Since the design seems simple I can't see what the underlying problem is. Any ideas? Thank you...
