Saeco Intuita HD8750/11 watertank

Hi, I have a Saeco Intuita HD8750/11 espressomachine. The light(led) of the water is on all the time, even if I fill in the watertank full with water. I have read online that it could be related to the water-lever-sensor being broken, and needed to be replaced. Do you know if this is a solution to the problem I mentioned above? Where can I find the water-lever-sensor within a Saeco Intuita HD8750/11 ? Can you please help me with this?

Hi @galile ,

Don’t know if the water level sensor is the problem or not but here’s a link showing the parts location schematic for the machine.

Part #31 is designated as the AS.CPU+SW WATER LEVEL SENSOR V2

If you search online using the part number (996530001522) only in the search box of your browser, you will get results for suppliers of the part.

Hopefully this is of some help.

Thank you @jayeff . Do you have any other idea for something else that could cause the problem of the watertank light(led) keeps staying on.

Do you know of any disassembly guide which shows step by step how to remove Part #31?

Late comment: hoping it may be of use to others with a similar issue.

Although it *might* be the board, more likely is a failing reed switch or the floating magnet losing strength. Given that these days magnets are very high coercivity (don't weaken easily) the reed is the slightly more likely culprit. The reed switch will be found adjacent but separate from the magnet which floats up and down with water level. In my machine (Saeco Royal Cappucino) it is cubic, and slots into a retaining clip. Alignment and magnet strength are fiddly to get right if you decide to replace either or both and don't want to pay upwards of $100 for components that are readily available in an electronics store for a few dollars, albeit in different formats.
