Where is the float - Comfort-Aire BHD-651 Dehumidifier

i don't know. please make sure your filter is clean. unplug your unit . gently shake giggle and move the float up and down. the switch for the float may not quite be making a firm contact.

There's usually a float that senses the level of the water so it shuts the unit off. Perhaps the float arm got bent at some time. I would try to re-position ( lower) the float arm, to adjust the water level.

If all you need is the Styrofoam float, you're in business, If it's the entire float arm you're not so lucky.

See ref numbers

Unfortunately, the entire float assembly (Part # CRCDFD5404-010) is no longer available and their are no interchangeable substitutions.In lieu of that, if you can hook it up to a hose for continual drainage, you wont need the float assembly.

Hope this helps and thanks for choosing FixYa.

If the float falling in tells you its full probably not. Unless the float floats off a switch. Then a new float that wont fall off would probably do it.

If the float keeps falling off...why not tie a small piece of fishing line to it and suspend it above the switch? It will stay where its needed until water lifts it up.

There is likely a switch operated by a float to turn that light on and turn off the compressor, sometimes manufactures use a rubber "O" ring on the float shaft and they can slip. take the cover off the pump and check the float or in some cases one of two floats are used. Once float turns the pump on and off and the second float shuts OFF the compressor and turns ON the full reservior light.

Any float will work. Go to home depot and get a toilet float kit. -Good Luck Ned-

Your close they call it a float. if i had your model # i could show you where to get it.
and give you a part #. hope this was helpfull.

Not familiar with this unit, but the float has to be in the reservoir. It has an arm on it which pushes on a switch when it raises with the water level. The switch which the float arm presses is now pressed, which falsely signals that the reservoir is full.

Hope you can figure it out from this. If you have qeustions, let me know.

The bucket full light is controlled by a manual 'float' switch in the bucket itself
-when the water level rises...it lifts the float ...turns on the light and does not allow the unit to operate because it believes it is full.

It is very common for the 'float' to gets misaligned, hung-up, etc. when you remove and re-insert the bucket. Sometimes the 'chain' gets twisted, turned...which does not allow the float to ...float...rather it is 'hung-up' which indicates it is 'full'...when in fact it is clearly not.

To check this:

• remove bucket from unit
• look into the top of the bucket opening to locate the 'float'...generally 2" round plastic ball on a shaft, (or chain)
  
• softly cup the float in order to lift this up...with the unit stilll plugged in...to see if the light goes off...this is very likely
• then be sure that the float mechanism is able to freely 'float' in the space....i.e. you are trying to simulate the impact of rising water levels in the bucket
  
• as it rises (in your hand the machine will turn off/light on...as it drops....the light shuts off, allowing the machine to run (when humidity levels demand it)
• then re-install the bucket....being very careful to lift the float, while you insert it...there is generally a little nack to it...but you quickly learn how to do it easily (I just reach into the space...cup the float...put the bucket on an angle...slide it in....release the float into the bucket...(remove hand)...then finish pushing the bucket into place

-hope this helps
