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.
Why you may not need the sensors anymore.
Here is how to fix it in most cases.
Buy a spray wand and with high pressure water from a garden hose you can attempt to break up any residual toilet paper particles.
First you should determine if there really is a problem with the gauge.
If you are showing a full reading on your gray and black holding tanks it is because electricity is flowing between the probes.
Blue dawn dish soap is a great grease and grime digester.
Gray tank sensors stop working because food grease begins to build up on the sensor probes causing them to misread.
In order to stop sensor issues then you must get rid of this grease.
Run a garden hose through the toilet and flush the tank.

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.
This can be cleaned off with standard anti grease detergent and or a chemical or enzyme based holding tank digestant treatment.
After rv s are a few years old the black tank level gauge often stops working or is stuck on a certain level.
The best way to keep rv holding tank sensor properly working is by emptying and flushing tanks regularly after every camping trip.
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.
A circuit was established between the monitor and your tank probes through the water or sludge.
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.
Fill the tank to the top and note the level on your tank monitor gauge or information center.
