LCD READS CH 1 SHUTS DOWN BUCKET FULL LIGHT COMES ON

You have to be sure bucket is replaced exactly where it should go or the bucket will hold the switch in, thinking it is full. If you have a floor drain close by,remove the bucket and set the dehumidifier over or next to drain so water will go down it,then you don't worry about bucket getting full.If it doesn't run with bucket off, maybe defective switch. unhook wires to the bucket switch and hook or tape together,if dehumidifier runs then switch is bad. UNPLUG FROM OUTLET BEFORE DOING THIS. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ELECTRICITY GET QUALIFIED HELP!!

The problem you're having is generally caused by the bucket not being installed properly. So, when the unit starts the vibration dislodges the bucket just enough that it loses contact with the Bucket Safety Removal Switch and the FULL light comes on and the unit stops

When installing the bucket, be sure that it fits "squarely" into the holder from top to bottom and makes firm contact with the bucket safety removal switch, on the rear wall of the bucket holder. When installed properly, the bottom of the bucket should not tilt down at all.

I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

I've had to strap several buckets on with bungie cords; they shake some and the bucket full sensor thinks the bucket has been removed.
