My Hot Water Side Is Full But Keeps Blinking Add Water, What Is The Problem?

My coffee maker is brand new.  The coffee side works fine.  The water dispensing side says add water, it is too the fill line.  I even ran some water out of it to see if it would work. It came on for a few seconds and then went back to blinking add water. Do I need to exchange it or am I doing something wrond?!?!

You need to fill it completely up then wait. I did that making tea last night and it only poured half the water I put in there out. But once I put more to the line it worked fine. Is yours leaking water out of the bottom of the whole unit? Mine is on the coffee side:(
