Safety: Unplug the unit before inspection.

Let unit settle: After moving, keep the dehumidifier upright and unplugged for at least 30 minutes to allow refrigerant and internal floats to stabilize.
Reseat bucket: Remove and reinstall the bucket firmly.
Check for sloshed water: If water entered the float chamber, allow time to dry or carefully remove and dry the float assembly.
Inspect tilt/float switches: If accessible, ensure any tilt or float switches are in their normal positions and not stuck.

Dehumidifier will not start after being moved or tipped; bucket is empty.
