Dehumidifier leaks water onto the floor instead of into the bucket or drain hose.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping or electrical hazards.

Steps to stop leaks:

• Inspect bucket: Remove the bucket and check for cracks or damage. Replace if leaking.
• Clean drain channel: Locate the drain outlet from the evaporator tray into the bucket or hose. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove slime, mold, or debris.
• Check unit level: Ensure the dehumidifier is on a level surface. A tilted unit can cause water to spill over the pan.
• Verify drain hose installation: If using a hose, make sure it is firmly attached, slopes downward continuously, and is not submerged in standing water at the outlet.
• Inspect drain pan: If accessible, check the internal drain pan for cracks. Replace the drain pan assembly if damaged.

Warning: Do not operate the unit with panels removed; water can drip onto live electrical parts.
