Shuts off and water leaks from the bottom of the dehumidifier

Hi friend, thank you for your post!

I have identified that a few possibilities to why water is leaking from the bottom of your dehumidifier could be a crack inside your bucket or condensation from the bucket. I would remove your bucket and look it over to see if you can locate any visible cracks or chips. How much water is leaking from your dehumidifier? If you can provide any further information I look forward to assisting you. -Matt

Hi,

This one has a leak in the refrigerant system... it will need to be found, fixed, and recharged...which will cost more then a new one...in most cases.

There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.

Hi,
Sounds like this unit developed a freon leak and that will make it run hot like that...cheaper to replace it then to repair...

Possible hose out of place?

There should be a drain hose to drain water!!Check tank for leaks or obstructions-check that drain isnt clogged!!un clog and clean as necessary!!! Best of Luck!!!!

blow some air thru the discharge line,, thats all it is the line is clogged, if the pan is filling with water, it is working but they do get clogged with dust and lint in the air,,

Mine leaks. Had leaked at other times but i took the vacuum cleaner to the front drain spout, that leaks into the removable basin. That worked in the past, but i't's not working now . The water is overflowing at the back of the catch tray and leaking out through the bottom underneath. The holes are clear, so it shouldn't be doing this. I am stumped.

It sounds as though the collection pail is not installed correctly, or the hose fitting cap is loose. Make sure that the pail is seated correctly & the cap is tight. Inspect the bottom for rust perforation, too, although this is a long shot. If this fails, then the cold coil may have broken away from it's mount, & is dripping in the wrong place. Inspection with the cover off will reveal any misalignment or broken components. Repair as required.
