Crane dehumidifier shuts off and will not run; bucket full light is on even when bucket is empty.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting the bucket area.

• 1. Reinstall bucket:
  • Remove and firmly reinsert the bucket, ensuring it is fully seated.
• 2. Inspect bucket tab:
  • Look for the plastic tab or protrusion on the bucket that presses the bucket full switch.
  • If broken, the bucket may need replacement.
• 3. Test switch manually:
  • With the bucket removed and unit unplugged, locate the bucket full switch.
  • Press the switch lever; it should click distinctly.
• 4. Clean and adjust:
  • Remove any buildup around the switch.
  • Ensure the switch bracket is not bent.
• 5. Replace switch:
  • If the switch fails continuity tests or remains stuck, replace it with a compatible bucket full switch.
