Dehumidifier leaks water onto the floor
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Cracked or misaligned water bucket, Blocked internal drain channel, Leaking or disconnected drain hose (continuous drain mode), Pump reservoir overflow in pump models
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping and electrical hazards.
Steps:
- Remove the water bucket and inspect for cracks or damage. Replace if any leaks are found.
- Check the internal drain spout where water drips into the bucket. Clear any slime or debris blocking the opening.
- If using a continuous drain hose, ensure it is firmly attached, not cracked, and slopes downward without kinks. Tighten any hose clamps.
- For pump-equipped models, inspect the pump reservoir and outlet hose for blockages. Clean and flush with warm water.
- Reassemble and test with a small amount of water poured into the evaporator drain pan to confirm proper flow into the bucket or drain hose.
