Dehumidifier shuts off and indicates full tank even when the tank is empty

Safety: Unplug before inspecting the tank area.

Steps:

• 1. Remove and clean tank: Wash the tank and float mechanism to remove slime or mineral deposits.
• 2. Check float movement: Ensure the float moves freely and returns to the down position when the tank is empty.
• 3. Inspect tank seating: Make sure the tank slides fully into place and presses any internal levers or switches.
• 4. Test level switch: Access the float switch or reed switch assembly and test for correct operation with a multimeter. Replace if faulty.
