T6.1 fresh water level indicator

[GrahamB]

I was just reading through these posts as my water level doesn’t seem to register.
Could you advise how I get to the pump etc as shown in your photo please? I had a look in the rear wardrobe area and couldn’t identify anything that looked like your photo

You can access the tank by removing the plastic disc bottom left of the wardrobe and then undoing the circular lid underneath which is screwed down tight and has wires lying over it. Hard to remove but can be done with a special tool from the club shop or by using a wood block drift and a mallet to loosen it (anticlockwise). You can then see the pump etc as shown in the photo.

Great, thank you. Will give it a go when it cools down a bit out there!!

I’ve got intimate knowledge of the fresh water system level detection on various trains (don’t ask…) which cost considerably more than a Cali and don’t work that much better.

I had an issue with my fresh water level indicator (T6.1) where the control panel continuously indicated empty, regardless of the actual level. Sometimes the tap would work, sometimes it wouldn't. Had a look today in the tank under de wardrobe and removed the float/senor. Turns out the pump was installed incorrectly, able to move around freely and stopping the float from moving up with the water level. Moved it to the corner where there are 2 tabs holding it in position and out of the way of the floater. Works perfectly now. I have attached a picture of where/how it should be installed. Hope it helps for those strugling with the same issue.

This fixed my sensor problems. Thanks good work.
