Water leaking from the bottom or sides of the dehumidifier onto the floor.

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

Steps:

• Inspect bucket: Remove the bucket and check for cracks or overfilling. Ensure it seats properly and that the front panel closes fully.
• Clean drain channel: Look for the small drain outlet where water leaves the evaporator tray into the bucket or hose. Use a pipe cleaner or small brush to clear slime and debris.
• Check drain hose: If using continuous drain, ensure the hose is firmly attached, slopes downward continuously, and is not kinked or blocked.
• Defrost ice: If the evaporator is iced over, let the unit thaw completely, then restart in a warmer room or with improved airflow.
• Replace damaged parts: Replace a cracked water bucket or damaged drain adapter as needed.
