Sensors do get "stuff" stuck on them and as a result give false readings.
While I do not necessarily disagree with general reliability of OE sensors, the sensors worked for complete time of ownership in our last two haulers.
Going to keep my fingers crossed 3rd time is a charm with new unit as well….
That said – one trick I always used after recommended by a season RV’er: Either when sensors gave false reading for extended period of time or periodically if no sensor issues encountered after several trips was to dump 2-3 bags of ice and 2 cups bleach into black tank right before you get on the road for at least a 1 – 2 hour pull.
