Homemade techniques like flushing dishwashing detergent ice cubes chlorine bleach or using rv tank sensor cleaners are to be used when the sensors are malfunctioning.
Rv tank sensors not working.
This can be cleaned off with standard anti grease detergent and or a chemical or enzyme based holding tank digestant treatment.
When rv holding tank sensors incorrectly read full it is typically due to residue build up connecting the sensors.
To clear up the sensor light indicators you can spend an entire afternoon trying some of these things.

Why you may not need the sensors anymore.
A circuit was established between the monitor and your tank probes through the water or sludge.
This is why a red light appears on your monitor showing you that you may be 1 3 full 2 3 full or completely full.
If everything worked as plans each should all read completely empty though you may sometimes have to repeat the process a couple of times to get your tanks completely clean.
If you are showing a full reading on your gray and black holding tanks it is because electricity is flowing between the probes.
Here is how to fix it in most cases.
After waiting a few hours and driving around a bit to ensure as thorough a cleansing as possible re drain your tanks with your rv sanitation hose and check your sensors.
Blue dawn dish soap is a great grease and grime digester.
The best way to keep rv holding tank sensor properly working is by emptying and flushing tanks regularly after every camping trip.
Buy a spray wand and with high pressure water from a garden hose you can attempt to break up any residual toilet paper particles.
In order to stop sensor issues then you must get rid of this grease.
Fill the tank to the top and note the level on your tank monitor gauge or information center.
Don t blame the sensors.
After rv s are a few years old the black tank level gauge often stops working or is stuck on a certain level.
