Dehumidifier shuts off after a short time and the bucket is not full; no error code displayed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Restricted airflow causing thermal cut-out, bucket float intermittently triggering switch, faulty thermal protector on compressor or motor

Steps:

Clean filter and vents: Ensure the air filter and grilles are clean and unobstructed.
Check bucket float and switch: Inspect the float for free movement and the switch for secure mounting. Replace the bucket float assembly or bucket full switch if intermittent.
Allow cooling: If the unit feels very hot, let it cool for 30–60 minutes before restarting. Persistent overheating may indicate a failing motor or compressor that requires professional service.
