Dehumidifier plastic cabinet or bucket is cracked or broken, causing instability or leaks.

Safety: Unplug the unit before handling broken plastic parts with sharp edges.

Steps to repair:

• Assess damage: Determine if the crack affects water containment (bucket, drain pan) or structural support (base, side panels).
• Replace critical parts: For buckets and drain pans, replace with OEM GE water bucket or drain pan rather than attempting glue repairs.
• Stabilize cabinet: Replace broken base or side panels if the unit rocks or flexes excessively.
• Avoid tape-only fixes: Tape may fail under water exposure; use proper replacement parts.
