Dehumidifier shows bucket full indicator even when the tank is empty and correctly installed.

Safety: Unplug the unit before working in the tank compartment.

Steps to correct false bucket full:

• Remove and reseat tank: Take out the tank and reinstall it firmly. Ensure it pushes the internal lever or magnet into the correct position.
• Inspect float: Locate the bucket float inside the tank or compartment. Make sure it moves freely and is not jammed by dirt or scale.
• Clean components: Clean the float and surrounding area with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry.
• Check switch alignment: Verify that when the tank is inserted, the float or lever properly actuates the bucket full switch. Adjust the switch bracket slightly if misaligned.
• Replace faulty parts: If the float is waterlogged or the switch fails continuity tests, replace the bucket full float and switch assembly.
