Dehumidifier bucket is empty but the unit indicates bucket full and will not run.

Safety: Turn off and unplug the unit before inspecting the bucket area.

• Re-seat bucket: Remove and reinstall the bucket firmly. Make sure it is fully inserted and level.
• Check float: Inspect the float inside the bucket for free movement. Clean off any mineral deposits.
• Inspect bucket tab/magnet: Some TCL models use a plastic tab or magnet on the bucket to trigger a sensor. If broken or missing, replace the bucket.
• Test bucket switch: Locate the bucket full switch inside the cabinet. Manually actuate it and listen for a click. Test continuity with a multimeter and replace if faulty.
