why is my "empty water container" flashing when it is empty

My tumble dryer water container is empty but the empty water container warning light flashes on the front of the machine and about 2 minutes into the cycle the machine stops! Is there a detector somewhere malfunctioning if so where? help

    When it stops lean the dryer over at a 45 degree angle. If water runs out there is a problem with the pump tot bringing water up from the reservoir to the container. If this is OK check there is not a heating problem.
