Green light add water keeps coming on when reservoir is already full. Have some water out of drain hole, but still light is coming back on...

Often the problem is the reservoir sensors think the water tank is empty. The metal rods that go into the white plastic tank are the sensors, and they contact the sides of the machine to provide an electrical ground. The water needs to be normal tap water, distilled water will not conduct...
At any rate, the fix is to simply jiggle the tank left to right to roughen up or clean the contact between the sensors and the body of the machine. Within a few minutes the machine should start to heat up, now that it knows you have water.
Hope that helps!

There is a water level sensor at the bottom of the tank, probably is stuck. Examine it very carefully.

Did you find a solution yet?
If your machine isn't plumbed in, so you have to fill the reservoir, I find it is easy to overfill, and the water runs out over the lip. I placed a fishing float with the long bit sticking up through the hole, so I can see when the water level is too low.
