The water in your sump pit needs to be no more than 2-3 inches, this is enough to keep your pump happy and make sure it works properly when you need it to.

The drain tube or hole that drains into the bucket is probably clogged.

Turn the unit OFF and remove the bucket. Look in the cavity where the bucket was removed for a drain tube or drain hole. Using an 18" long plastic Zip Tie or something similar (No wire coat hangers) , that's appropriately sized to fit in the hole. Carefully feed the ZIP Tie into the hole or tube and thread it as far as you can. At some point the drain will curve, but you have to carefully get past this point. Once the Zip Tie has reached as far as it can, slowly pull it out while rotating it. This will loosen the clog. Once you have it half way out, be prepared for water to follow. This method should solve the problem.

Be careful. i do not know. set at highest setting and let it run. while running, reduce setting to the lowest over a few minutes. at a lower setting you should be able to tell that the compressor has started. run it for 5 minutes, then unplug your machine. next, feel the cooling coils to see if they are very cold. if they are not cold, your unit needs to be serviced.

i don't know. my generic unit will do similar if i don't have the units moisture level set at a lower number. consider using your lowest setting as a test.

No, these are throw away items. It will cost more to repair than getting a new one.

ac units work by removing water vapor from the air That accounts for the water that is getting into the collector now if the water volume is increasing , it can be from an increase in humidity of the air portable units have to have an opening ( window or door ) to pass out the hot air and that allows more moisture laden air into the room. Maybe the next unit you get is fixed so that all of the doors and windows can be kept closed
