Homedics dehumidifier bucket fills too quickly or overflows even with hose attached.

Safety: Unplug the unit and empty the bucket before working on the drain system.

Steps to correct drainage:

• Check hose routing: Ensure the continuous drain hose slopes downward from the unit to the drain with no upward loops or kinks.
• Clear clogs: Disconnect the hose and flush it with water to remove any blockages.
• Inspect drain adapter: Verify that the drain adapter is fully inserted and sealed at the rear of the dehumidifier.
• Bucket position: If using the bucket, ensure it is fully seated so water flows correctly into it and triggers the float when full.
