DEHUMIDIFIER IS RUNNING BUT NOT COLLECTING WATER

There are 5 basic, but solvable reasons for what you described. Please pay particular attention to numbers 1 & 2.

1. The humidity extraction level is set to HIGH. Lower it to 32-35%.

2. Air intake filter is dirty or clogged. Turn unit OFF, & Unplug the
Unit, before removing to inspect & clean it, if necessary. If washed,
allow filter to completely dry before reinstalling. DO NOT operate
the unit without the filter.

3. Obstructed air flow. Maintain a minimum of 12 to 18" of clear air
space around the entire unit.

4. Cooling coils are dirty and need to be cleaned. Use warm water & dish washing liquid to
clean the coils. Rinse and wipe dry. Apply a light coating of WD40 to the coils.

5. Ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 - 60 degrees.
dehumidifiers do not work well between those temperatures
(Unless, you have a Low Temp Unit). This applies mainly to
where the air temperature at floor level is colder than at shoulder level
in basement applications. Raising the unit up off the floor,
onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight
of the unit, plus a full tank of water, will usually resolve this
problem.

If none of the above solves the problem, it may be a case of the compressor needs to be recharged with refrigerant gas or that the humidity condenser sensor has failed. These things usually occur in units that are 5 years old or older. It's rare in a unit younger than that. But, it can happen.

Hope this helps you to troubleshoot & solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

The unit is leaking water, but not from the collection bucket. The unit is in the basement, has worked well for many years, but has never been serviced or cleaned.

More than likely, the drain tube or hole that delivers the water into the collection bucket is clogged. To clear the clog: First turn the unit OFF and unplug it from the wall outlet. Use an 18 -20" long plastic Zip Tie, that will fit into the drain tube or hole. DO NOT use a wire coat hanger for this. Carefully insert the Zip Tie into the hole or tube and gingerly work it in until you reach the bend of the tube. This is where it gets a little tricky, because you must get past that bend, to be effective. Once the Zip Tie has reached it's limited reach or it has bottomed out. Slowly pull it back out, while rotating it. This will remove any clogs, so be prepared for water to follow.

Hope this helps you solve that leaky situation. Please let me know.
