Good Afternoon Friend,
I understand that the bucket fills with water and overflows on your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FAD704DUD. Please make sure your dehumidifier is installed on a level that will support it with a full bucket of water. If the dehumidifier is moving when it fills with water then this could possibly be the cause of the bucket overflowing. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.
-Best Regards-

Duct tape a weight ... 1 inch bolt to float assembly.
SOURCE: i have a hose discharging water from back . but
The clog is not in the hose. It's in the hose connection tube inside the unit. To unclog it use an 18" long plastic Zip Tie or something similar that is flexible and will fit into the hole. NO wire coat hangers though. Gingerly work it into the hose connection hose, until you reach a bend in the tubing. This is the tricky part, as you have to get past this bend. Be careful and work it past the bend. Once the Zip Tie bottoms out or you run out of Zip Tie, slowly pull it back out while rotating it. This will dislodge the clog. Once the Tie is almost all the way out, be prepared for water to follow.
One other thing. If the unit stops operating check that the bucket full light is illuminated. If it is remove the bucket and empty the contents and then check the seal between the hose and the drip tray. If there is a small leak then replace the hose gasket and re-tighten the hose.
FYI - Your humidifier does not have a pump. It relies entirely on gravity to drain, when you use the hose connection.
That should solve the problem.

This isn't due to the bucket spilling. Spare us, please. This is due to filth and muck in the catch pan inside the unit, and also, possibly on the coils. Cleaning these requires disassembly, which Frigidaire has made nearly impossible to do. They would rather keep selling you product. You can get the rear, side, and front panels off with some careful work and You Tube research, but it does not allow access to the problem area, that being, the pan and the (clogged) tube that leads to the bucket, and the rest of the machine needs a robot and an engineer to take apart. It was designed this way so you cannot repair your unit.
