braava m6 keeps saying it needs water but the tank is full, what gives?

— asked by Sam

This usually points to a sensor issue or a problem with the tank's connection.

Let's troubleshoot step-by-step:

  1. Remove and reseat the tank. Take it off completely, ensure the cap is closed, and firmly reattach it to the robot. You should hear it click into place.
  2. Check the tank's lid latch. Make sure it's fully closed and not obstructed.
  3. Clean the sensor areas. On the bottom of the robot, where the tank attaches, wipe any moisture or debris from the contacts and sensors with a dry, soft cloth.
  4. Inspect the tank's Precision Jet Spray Nozzle for clogs. You can rinse it with warm water.

IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: The robot might need a reboot. Hold the HOME button for 10 seconds until all lights go off. Then place it on the charging station to restart.

HEADS UP: Only fill the tank with water to the top line (13 fl oz / 385 mL). Overfilling can cause sensor misreads. Use warm water, not boiling.
