Dehumidifier bucket fills very quickly and unit shuts off frequently

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting drain connections.

Steps to reduce bucket filling:

• Install continuous drain: If your Whynter model supports it, attach a suitable drain hose to the drain outlet and route it to a floor drain.
• Ensure downhill flow: Make sure the hose slopes downward with no loops or high spots.
• Check bucket position: Some models require the bucket to be in place even when using continuous drain. Ensure it is seated correctly.
• Reduce moisture sources: Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and close windows during dehumidifier operation.
