    Posted: 10 Apr 2014 at 9:43pm
Brought home our new 179 (Sheriffs Podsse) last week. Just getting around to sanitizing the fresh water system and I noticed that with all three tanks empty, my Kib monitoring panel shows (I think) all three tanks full. At least, the panel, when I push the appropriate button, lights the top three lights leaving the empty light unlit. I filled the fresh water tank and checked the panel again. Same result. All three tanks light the top three lights. I'm assuming the lights lit represent the tanks amount of water, which means my panel says all three tanks are full. Does this sound like a DIY quick fix or do I have to get my dealer involved? Thanks

If it is brand new.. I for sure would have it checked/repaired by them. It is a simple system with lots of info and some video on the net, but if the system is wired backwards, with all tanks empty, it should show empty..

well if this is the right panel there is some trouble shooting info for it here, although not your problem exactly.  

i'd perhaps call their service number and see if they know the correct fix and whether you as an owner can do it based on what they say or if your dealer should look at it.

Dealer replaced the panel. All is right.
