sticky water tank!

[TiggerMark]

My sticky steam arm lever seems to have resolved itself but my water tank is misbehaving big time. CAN NOT PULL THE DRAWER OUT sometimes - I am tugging full strength and then finally it releases. And then, almost as if to spite me, once I've filled it it won't register as full. I have the drawer/tank all the way in, can't push it further and the red light for "water out" still shows. Finally if I push, pull, beg and plead it will "take it" and decide it has water. This is frustrating! I thought I was going to get to have morning coffee this morning because it didn't think it had any water ... but the tank was full! Please help.

working my own problem a little with Google ... read these threads and bought some food grade lubricant.

food grade lubricant arrives and problem 100% solved. stunned how easy it is to slide the water "drawer" in and out. if you're searching the web and having this problem this is where to start!

Glad you figured it out. I've never owned a Mini so I had no ideas for you.
