Dehumidifier leaks water onto the floor from the bottom or sides

Safety: Unplug the unit and wipe up any spilled water to avoid slipping.

Steps:

• Inspect tank: Remove the water tank and check for cracks or overfilling. Replace if damaged.
• Clean drain channel: Use a flexible brush or pipe cleaner to clear the small drain outlet and channel leading to the tank or hose connection.
• Check continuous drain: If using a hose, ensure it is firmly attached, slopes downward, and is not blocked. Avoid routing the hose upward.
• Level the unit: Place the dehumidifier on a flat, level surface so water flows correctly into the tank.
• Inspect internal pan: If accessible, check the internal condensate pan for cracks or misalignment.
