I have an Amcor HD320 dehumidifier. The pipe to the water container has broken off at the plastic nozzle above. The pipe is a tight fit - if I attach a small piece of tube to it will that fix it?

Attach a length of garden hose no longer than 5 feet, to the threaded drain hose connection that was supplied with your unit, to carry water to the drain.
1. Remove the drain-hole cover on the back left side of your unit.
2. Connect a garden hose to the threaded drain hose connector.
3. Push hose connector tightly to the drain-hole on Rear Grille with the arrow on the tab pointing UP.
The hose attachment will accept a standard garden hose fitting.
Do not over tighten the hose when connecting it to the hose connector,
use a rubber washer and tighten by hand firmly without stripping the
plastic threads.
When being attached to hose connector drain hose connection,
do not bend or kink the hose. The hose should lie flat from the
dehumidifier to the drain.

Sorry it's taken so long for someone to respond to your question. The reason may be, that it's not very clear to us, what exactly you're trying to do. I think it's the part about "the water coming from the continuous exit pipe" and why you would want to run it into the dehumidifier tank?

So, if you could explain the specifics a little better, we may can help you.

Thanks

There should be a plastic pan that the water drips in too.

It's generally part of the water collection container. It will look like a garden hose connection. But, their is a plastic knockout that will have to be removed. If it's not part f the container, remove it and look in inside the cavity where the container was, for a hose connection like I described above.

Hope this helps solve your problem.

Hi,

There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.

If you want to use the bucket to collect the water cover the hole in the back where the hose to dispense water outside would normally go. You need a rubber cover that will fit tightly, it should have come with the unit.

take a sample piece of tubing to a home improvement,hardware,or appliance parts store to match it up.

As for the drain most have a plastic pan and this is sometimes the type that has to be removed and dumped or a hose has to be attached and the hole it attaches to has to be cut out for self draining.
If the threads are fouled up all I can suggest is a lot of Teflon tape or pipe dope or cut out and replace the fitting with something that will correct the problem.

If this helps please rate me as high as you can and thank ytouu for using fixya.
