the red light is for the collection bucket full switch , this is either a true or false condition , both require removal of the bucket and emptying and reseating it propely in its place
the units self testing and it takes a moment to ck that everything is ok , red light ind. it;s found a problem , ck simple things first , empty bucket, ck float sensor inside bucket ck for Level (gravity) ck filter for cleaning and reset filter alarm if present , then move on to more difficult things like is something wrong with cooling fan or did water get inside and dammage something
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!!
If the unit is titled forward at all, the "full bucket" "trip switch" will not trigger off as it should. Be sure the unit is on a flat, level surface, or leaning backward slightly--this also aids drainage through the drain tube, if that's your set-up.
Hi,
I take it that the bucket is empty? I'd suggest making sure that the bucket is properly inserted back into the casing, and that none of the little actuating rods has got broken.
