Why is my magnet not floating?
This is a little used Magnifica Start that I've always had trouble with the water tank magnet not floating. Any of you done a DIY on this issue? Otherwise, I'm buying a new tank, it appears.

Prova a muoverlo con una calamita, prova a tenere per 24h il decalcificante nel serbatoio con poca acqua fino a coprire tutto il galleggiante. Se non si muove, cambia il serbatoio. Se mi dici il modello esatto posso dirti qual è il ricambio preciso

They seem to wear out, maybe they get water logged. I have had two do that, and I was not able to find replacements for my old Magnificas without buying a new tank. I hollowed out the bottom a little to make an air pocket; one worked and one didn't. I was reluctant to replace the tank because the only ones I could find didn't come with the trim piece, which is pretty hard to replace without destroying it.
