We have wallmounted this as per instruction booklet and connected the hose, removing the continuous drain cap and removing the rubber bung as per page 13 of booklet. It is continuing to drain to the tank instead of out the hose, which is at a draining angle. One thing not clear in the booklet is the statement on pg 13 "Nota Bene: keep the rubber bung to close the spout" (which spout and when??)
Did you punch out (or cut) the plug that the hose connects to? If not, its blocking the water from draining to the hose.
Keep it in case you want to go back to the bucket.
Also, make sure the unit is higher than the drain and that the hose is not kinked or clogged.
Please rate 4 stars if this is helpful. Thanks and good luck!
SOURCE: Tank still fills when we are using direct drain feature
check to see that the hose isn't clogged, and that the hose runs down hill from the tank all the way to the drain. if it is higher than the tank at any point in its path it will not drain. you may put the dehumidifier on top of a small platform to aid drainage. also check that the knockout removed so there is a hole to let the water go from the tank to the hose?

Many just attach the hose at the reservoir; from your description, Haier apparently has a separate location. Check that the point that the hose attaches has an opening (many don't, they expect you to drill it). It should then drain through gravity. Check to make sure that no part of the drain hose is higher than the bottom of the reservoir, otherwise it can't drain. It won't siphon because each time the the tank empties, the suction is broken and the siphoning can't continue.
SOURCE: bucket fills instead of going down the drain
You may have an unintentional trap in the line (an up and down up and down. Hose has to lay flat on floor to drain.
SOURCE: Continuous drainage
Take out the drain pan and look in left hand top of the compartment and you will see a drain hole for the pan.Plug the drain hole with a small rubber plug, I used an electrical wire nut wrapped with tape and it worked fine.replace the pan and the water will run out the back. A 3/4" garden hose should work for the drain hole.
SOURCE: Danby ddr7009ree - continuous drain won't work
I have the same Danby unit and the same problem. When you take out the water bucket look inside and find the two holes where the water drips into the bucket. These holes are approximately 5/16" and 3/8" diameter. These holes need to be plugged. Your local hardware store has an assortment of specialized parts boxes. Find the box that contains "corks" of various sizes. They sell for about 20¢ apiece. I bought 5 within that size catagory and two of them worked! Problem solved.
