Water leaks from the bottom or sides of the dehumidifier instead of into the tank or drain hose.

Safety: Unplug the unit before tipping or opening it. Avoid spilling water onto electrical components.

Steps to fix leaks:

• Check tank seating: Remove and reinstall the water tank, ensuring it is fully inserted and properly aligned with the internal drain outlet.
• Inspect tank for cracks: Fill the tank at a sink and watch for leaks. Replace the water collection tank if cracked or warped.
• Clean drain channel: With the tank removed, locate the internal drain spout or channel. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove slime or debris that may be diverting water.
• Drain hose users: Ensure the hose is firmly attached to the drain outlet, slopes downward continuously, and is not kinked. Replace the drain hose kit if damaged.
• Check for over-tilt: Make sure the unit is not tilted excessively; it should be nearly level so water flows correctly into the tank or hose.
