Water leaking in the inside of home.

Mine is doing the same thing. The bucket is dry and the floor is flooded, so it is not an inability to condense, and it is not that the bucket has overflowed, and the bucket does not have a leak. It had been working great and then this suddenly started happening, it's as if the water is not flowing along the proper route and instead is gathering behind the bucket.

dehums remove humidity from air inside unit the evaporator sits in drain pan , drain pan has some sort of line or tube witch leeds to the internal collection or bucket thats what you slide out and empty when its full , ther is some sort of sensor or float switch that lets you know wen full make sure unit is draining properly inernaly and full system is working properly

The leaking problem usually happens for 2 reasons,

1. If your unit is equipped with a float valve inside the top of the water collection bucket, it's stuck in
the UP position. Turn the unit OFF and unplug for the wall outlet. Remove and empty the bucket
if necessary. Look at the foam ball on the end of the float valve arm. If it's in the UP position
jiggle it, so that it returns to the DOWN Position. That should stop the wter from overflowing the
tank.

2. If the bucket is not installed properly into the bucket holder. Remove the bucket, empty the
bucket, if necessary and reinstall it. Be sure that the bucket fits "squarely" into the bucket
holder from top to bottom and that it does not tilt downward at the bottom.

It's also a good idea to check the pump switch for continual draining, to make sure it hasn't been accidentally turned ON.

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

dissassembly will be required to replace seals, riding with it leaking will allow water to get inside the housing and ruin the bearings and or gears

this is not a water leak ! it is the humidity in the room which collects as water and drains out at the back.keep a bucket underneath or attach a drain pipe to the outlet .

Basically there is a drainage blockage from the humidifier to the bucket. Take one for the boys and **** hard on the pipe which very possibly will release the blockage.

Based upon my experience with the same problem on my Kenmore 54701 last summer: The condensate water collects in a plastic pan below the coils. This pan has a single drain hole where the water flows down into the bucket. When I suddenly found water puddling on the floor instead of in the bucket, I opened up the unit, and I found that the collection pan's drain hole had become blocked by "bioslime". I cleaned out the goo from the drain hole, and the problem was solved.

MAKE SURE TO FLUSH-OUT DRAIN LINE. WATER IF IT IS DRAINING TO SLOW WILL START LEAKING AROUND THE LOWER PART OF THE WASHER WHERE THERE IS A SAFTEY OVER FLOW ... IF YOURS IS A FREE STANDING TOP LOADER THE DRAIN HOSE IS IETHER SEPERATE OR FLOWS WITH A CHECK VALVE THAT HOOHS RIGHT TO YOUR FAUCET. MAKE SURE THE CHECK VALVE AT THE FAUCET CONNECTION IS FREE AND NOT STUCK.
