i had a ninja that did this and i fixed it by hitting it. Not even joking, smacked the side of it and the error code cleared. Brewed for another 1.5 years after that
What actually triggers the Add Water error on Ninja coffee makers?

Worked in small appliance repair for about 6 years before I switched careers. Ninja brewers fail in very specific ways. The Add Water error is very common and scale accounts for 70% of the time. 20% of the time it's the reservoir switch or cracked tank and only 10% of the time is the brew pump 70% of the time people assume the brew pump is the issue. If a person uses paper filters that are cheap or grounds get into the brew system (coffee grounds in the water reservoir) then there can be a partial blockage in the outlet. Always descale and clean the machine before replacing any components.

2 cycles of strong brewed water will fix it 90% of the time. If it doesnt a machine failure has occurred. 3 cycles will help but only with very neglected brewers.
