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

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or disassembling. Dry any spilled water around electrical parts.

• Level the unit: Use a level to ensure the dehumidifier is sitting flat. Adjust feet or surface as needed.
• Check bucket: Remove the bucket and inspect for cracks or overflows. Clean any slime or mold buildup.
• Clean drain channel: With the bucket removed, locate the small drain hole or channel at the back of the bucket cavity. Use a pipe cleaner or flexible brush to clear any clogs.
• Inspect drain hose (if used): Ensure the hose is firmly attached, slopes downward continuously, and is not kinked or blocked.
• Test with water: Pour a small amount of water into the evaporator drain pan and confirm it flows into the bucket or through the hose without leaking.
