Possible Causes
Extremely high room humidity, continuous drain hose not installed or clogged, pump not operating on pump models, undersized dehumidifier for space
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps:
- Use continuous drain: If available, connect a drain hose to the continuous drain outlet and route it to a floor drain.
- Check hose: Ensure the hose slopes downward with no kinks or clogs.
- Pump models: Verify the condensate pump is working and the discharge hose is clear.
- Reduce moisture sources: Close windows, run exhaust fans in bathrooms/kitchens, and seal obvious water leaks.
If the space is very large or extremely damp, consider adding a second dehumidifier or a higher-capacity Sharp model.
