Dehumidifier leaks water onto the floor

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

Steps:

• Inspect bucket: Remove the water tank and check for cracks or warping. Ensure the bucket seats fully and evenly when reinstalled.
• Clean drain channel: Locate the condensate drain outlet under the evaporator coil. Use a flexible brush or pipe cleaner to remove slime or debris.
• Check continuous drain: If using a hose, ensure it is firmly attached to the Sencor drain port, slopes downward continuously, and is not kinked or blocked.
• Level the unit: Make sure the dehumidifier is on a level surface so water flows correctly into the bucket or drain hose.
• Inspect seals: Check gaskets around the bucket and drain port. Replace any damaged seals.
