How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dehumidifier before adjusting the drain hose.

  • 1. Check hose routing:
    • Ensure the hose runs downhill from the dehumidifier to the drain with no upward loops.
  • 2. Inspect for kinks and clogs:
    • Straighten any kinks in the hose.
    • Disconnect and flush the hose with water to clear blockages.
  • 3. Clean drain outlet:
    • Remove the bucket and inspect the drain outlet fitting.
    • Clear any slime or debris blocking the outlet.
  • 4. Secure connection:
    • Reattach the hose firmly to the drain port, using a clamp if necessary.
  • 5. Test:
    • Run the unit and confirm water flows steadily through the hose into the drain.
