Check to see if there is a "reset button" and reset it. Try to unplug, and then replug the power cord. If the display says "full" when it's not, but everything still works, and you can't reset it, you can ignore it, OR, take it apart and see if there is a physical switch that's activated by the level of the water to determine what the display is reading, and try to fix or adjust it.

well this might be a small shortcomming of this model but as silly as it sounds even if you use a external hose to drain water from unit the float inside bucket still is active in unit so i bet if you look carefully the little float in corner of bucket is Just " not quite right" a little adjustment of this and im sure you can get it running again
Most of the hose/drain connections i have seen on these have a std gardenhose fitting so you can use a std garden hose to direct the water over to drain, caps for garden hoses are easyly available from any garden supply store , but i do caution you on your thought process of hooking up a hose makes this a maintence free option, it does not as hose and filters still need constant cleaning , especally in high humidity seasons
There should be a switch that is activated by a float lever that if tripped will make the bucket full light stay on, and will prevent the unit from going on.
If this light is on when the bucket is empty, maybe try to jiggle the float lever, or investigate why the switch is activated when the bucket is empty.
I will advice you check the water bucket to see if it is full and empty the bucket in a
sink if needed. GE dehumidifiers have a safety feature that shuts down
the device when the water in the bucket reaches a certain level. Install the bucket correctly in the unit by hooking the slots on the
bucket on the posts on the back of the device. The dehumidifier will not
run if the bucket is not properly setup in the device.
Take care.
The
tank may be full. Your dehumidifier has a safety device that turns off
the dehumidifier when the water tank is full. Usually the tank itself
either presses against a switch or there's a device connected to the
tank that triggers a switch when the tank is in place and full.
If
you've emptied the tank and the unit doesn't run, inspect the place
where the tank rests to see if there's a switch or mechanism that's not
being activated. You may be able to turn it on with a simple flick of
your finger.
It should resart on its own after putting the empty bucket back in. The beep is to let you know that the bucket full and it shuts off the humidifier until the bucket is emptied and put back into the proper position.
The hose is optional.You will have to empty the water bin every now & then yourself when full.The hose drain has to run to a sink or floor drain for convienece if the unit is HIGHER THAN location.
the water should still collect into the tank. the dehumidifier had a float switch that shut the unit off when the tank is full. In turn it should have a second switch, probably a float switch that turns the pump on and off so that the pump doesnt continue to run when there is no moisture in the tank
