crushed.
Leak alarm triggered after resetting the water tile
Investigate leak cause:
The cause of the leak alarm may
still be present. Inspect the area for ongoing leaks or
sources of water.
Check for moisture:
Ensure that the sensor, probes, and
sensing cables are completely dry. If they are still wet,
the alarm will continue to trigger.
Inspect for damage:
Examine the sensor and its
components for any signs of damage. If any part is
damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Cannot locate the device
