Dehumidifier shuts off and displays bucket full indicator, but bucket is empty.

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

Steps to fix false bucket full:

• Reseat bucket: Remove and reinstall the bucket, ensuring it is fully inserted and level.
• Inspect float: Check the float mechanism inside the bucket for free movement. Clean any buildup that may cause sticking.
• Check magnet/sensor: On models with a magnetic reed switch, verify the magnet is still attached to the bucket and aligned with the sensor location.
• Test switch: Manually actuate the switch or place a magnet near the reed sensor and see if the indicator clears. If not, replace the bucket full switch.

Warning: Do not tape or bypass the switch; this can lead to water overflow.
