Hey all. I have a Tunze nano 3152 on my IM Nuvo 40. I can't get the system to run on it's own. If I cycle the power with the water low, it will fill to appropriate level. If the water is high and I cycle it won't run. The plunger moves freely. I'll tap plunger when water is low and it won't turn on. It has filled on it's own randomly over the past 2 weeks but I have to cycle power over 90% of the time. I have tried putting cardboard between the magnet and cycling power with water high and still won't run properly. Attached is a pic of how I have it set up. Any suggestions? TIA

Anyone? I contacted Xenia North America on Monday about the issue and still haven't heard back from them.

Sounds like something wonky with either the float switch or the IC.

Is it out of warranty? Just curious as the LFS/online store should be dealing with Xenia on your behalf.

Failing that, contact Roger Tunze USA for some trouble shooting.

I have a homemade setup here, with float switches I get off ebay/aliexpress etc.

I have had 4 of the float switches fail over the years, that's why I keep extra. Is this an older unit? Could be a similar situation? Can they be replaced? On ebay they were like $10 for 2, and on aliexpress they were like 10 for $2 (don't get those, they are really crappy). Also check the connections from the float switch to the mechanism, maybe it's corroded?
