Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain channel, misaligned bucket, unit not level, blocked continuous drain hose

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water.

  • Level the unit: Ensure the dehumidifier is on a flat, level surface so water flows correctly into the bucket.
  • Check bucket position: Remove and reinstall the bucket, ensuring it is fully seated.
  • Clean drain channel: If accessible, use a flexible brush or pipe cleaner to clear the internal drain channel leading to the bucket or hose connection.
  • Inspect drain hose: If using continuous drain, ensure the hose slopes downward with no kinks or clogs. Flush it with water.
  • Persistent leaks: Inspect for cracks in the internal drain pan; if found, the drain pan assembly may need replacement.
