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?

percussive maintenance is undefeated
definately gonna try that start button trick. Mine only does it once every few weeks but i just refill it even though its already full
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.

do you have a rough number on how many descaling cycles its worth trying before calling it? like is 2 the limit or have you seen 4-5 finally break through?

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.

this matches what i saw. First cycle did nothing, second one it came back to life
ngl i just unplug mine for 30 seconds when it throws errors. Fixes it 9 times out of 10
This only resets the machine controller which might clear the false error code but the actual problem remains unsolved.

buying time is free coffee, ill take it
The error code happens to me every time i allow the tank to run dry. I no longer let it empty but i fill it up before it empties and its been months without the error code.
allowing the brew machine to run dry is the worst thing you can do to your Ninja brew machine. The pump is meant to run with water in the tank and if allowed to run dry over time the pump will wear out.
