I don't see any plastic cover on the sensor other than the hard plastic cone. I am assuming that is the cover for the sensor.

My float works perfect. It is the only thing that keeps the tank from overflowing. It is the optical sensor that doesn't work.

The guy I talked to from the store said they would probably have to replace it with a new one. I was hoping that it was just something stupid on my part so I didn't have to change it out.

Try gently washing the end of the sensor with soapy water. Apparently new sensors can have a coating on them that causes the problem you are experiencing

Tried the soapy water wash. I am now giving it a quick soak in vinegar.

I'm leaving for a couple weeks and I was hoping I would have this working before I left. My wife is a little less than adequate when it comes to caring for my aquarium when I'm gone.
