There is supposed to be an auto-shutoff float in the bucket to prevent overfilling of the bucket. You have either removed it or it is defective. The fact that it runs constantly has more to do with the humidity and the setting that you have the unit set to, Obviously there is adequate humidity in the space or the bucket would not fill. You need to look for, find, and repair the shut-off float, or, if possible, some units allow you to connect a drain hose either to the bucket or directly to the unit to drain the water to a drain. If you choose this option, remember that the hose must remain lower than the top of the bucket or it will not drain properly and the bucket will still overflow.
SOURCE: bucket fills instead of going down the drain
You may have an unintentional trap in the line (an up and down up and down. Hose has to lay flat on floor to drain.
SOURCE: leaking water onto the floor
Take the bucket out, fill it with water, and see if it has a hole or crack. Also look above the bucket and see if the drippage is coming straight down or being diverted by an obstruction.
SOURCE: water leaks onto floor it doesn't fill
Don, sounds like the drain hole or tube that is supposed to drain into the bucket is clogged.
To solve this problem, you will need an 18" long plastic Zip Tie or something similar ( no wire coat hangers) that will fit into the drain hole or tube. Carefully insert the Zip Tie into the hole or tube and guide it in as far as you can. There will be a bend in the tube, but you need to gingerly work the Tie past this bend. Once you have, while rotating rotating the Tie, slowly pull it back out and be prepared for water to follow.
Hope this helps you solve the problem.

The drain hole of drain tube, that transports water to the bucket is clogged.
To solve this problem, do the following:
Remove
the water collection bucket and look up inside the bucket holder
cavity. You will see either a drain hole or small tubing that drains the
water into the bucket. Using an appropriately sized, 18" long, plastic
Zip Tie, carefully insert the tip of Zip Tie into the hole or tubing.
Continue to push it in until you reach a bend in the tubing. You will
need to gingerly work the Zip Tie past this bend, until it either
bottoms out or you run out of usable Zip Tie. Then slowly pull the Zip
Tie back out while rotating (twisting) it. This will breakup any clogs.
As you reach the inserted end of the Zip Tie, be prepared, as some water
may follow. Reinstall the bucket, plug the unit in and turn the Master
ON/OFF Switch to ON. Set the humidity extraction level to 35% or
Maximum if you have a manually controlled unit. Allow the unit to run,
while you monitor it for any leakage.
NOTE: If you don't have a Zip Tie, you may use something similar ( i.e.a long pipe cleaner), but NO wire coat hangers.
I hope this helps you solve the problem.

Hi,
When my unit did that, I found that it was because the drain tube was plugged with lint and/or dirt...
Run a large tooth pick or wire up inside the drain and see if the water doesn't start running right out of there...
