Dehumidifier indicates bucket full even when the bucket is empty and correctly installed.

Safety: Unplug before inspecting the float and switch.

Steps:

• Remove bucket: Take out the bucket and inspect the float mechanism. Ensure it moves freely and is not obstructed by dirt or scale.
• Clean float assembly: Rinse the float and bucket with warm water to remove mineral deposits.
• Check switch operation: Locate the bucket full switch in the cabinet and manually actuate it. If the unit responds correctly when pressed, adjust the bucket so it engages properly.
• Replace switch or float: If the switch does not change state when actuated, replace the bucket full switch. If the float is broken or waterlogged, replace the float assembly or bucket.

Tip: Mark the correct bucket seating position so it is reinstalled consistently after emptying.
