Possible Causes

Misaligned bucket float, Stuck bucket full microswitch, Broken float arm, Disconnected switch wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • 1. Check bucket placement:
    • Remove and reinstall the water bucket, ensuring it is fully seated.
  • 2. Inspect float mechanism:
    • Locate the float inside or above the bucket area.
    • Move the float up and down; it should move freely and return by gravity.
  • 3. Test bucket switch:
    • Locate the bucket full microswitch actuated by the float or bucket edge.
    • Press the switch lever by hand; you should hear a distinct click.
  • 4. Clean and adjust:
    • Remove any slime or mineral buildup around the float and switch.
    • Ensure the float arm is not bent or jammed.
  • 5. Replace parts if needed:
    • If the switch does not click or tests open/closed incorrectly with a multimeter, replace the bucket full switch.
    • Replace a cracked or waterlogged float.
