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

Safety: Unplug the unit. Mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping.

Steps to stop leaks:

• Check bucket: Remove and inspect the bucket for cracks or overfilling. Replace a damaged water bucket.
• Clean drain channel: With the bucket removed, locate the drain hole at the back of the bucket cavity. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to clear any slime or debris.
• Inspect drain hose (if used): Ensure the hose is securely attached to the drain outlet, slopes downward continuously, and is not kinked.
• Level the unit: Make sure the dehumidifier is level so water flows correctly into the bucket or hose.
• Check internal drain pan: If accessible, inspect the plastic drain pan under the coil for cracks. Replace the drain pan if leaking.
