My 3-month old Delonghi 50 dehumidifier is leaking

The hose is supposed to be in the tank. Someone emptied the tank and forgot to put the hose back.

not that big of a job ! it just needs a good cleaning out, start by unhooking power and then remove outer case , look inside at area that has lots of fins !! fine aluminum ones !! there should be a water tray just below the fins ! im betting this is well garb'd up with yuk!! take a 50/50 water bleach solution (gloves would be a good idea too) and work some f this around in the tray till it loosens up , remove with old towels or rags (throw em away) and find the drain hole in the tray that allows the water to drain into collection pan and poke down it with the end of a old pencil to clean it out as well (don't use metal) don't forget to clean your fan blades off too before reinstalling cover and leveling unit before reconnection power

I have a duracraft DD-TEC16E I have had this for 12 months and has been working perfectly until today , I have noticed the water is not all collecting in the tank it's leaking on the floor . Any possible solution please?

Hey, I had the same thing with mine.

First, try cleaning out your filter if you haven't already. It gets angry if it can't get any air.

If not, I don't know how brave you are, but I ripped mine apart to fix the problem. I took off the panel with the filter (5 screws) and you can see a collection tray with another little collection gutter under that. Both of mine were filled with junk, mostly dust that had gotten wet to make this awesome disgusting sludge. If you can get at it from there, try to clean the sludge out of the collection tray and the little gutter. I ended up taking my whole unit apart so I can get the collection tray out (dumb design, you have to take apart the whole dang casing to get at two screws that hold the collection tray in).

Good luck!

I think that I am having the same problem, but I'm not sure that this tube needs to be plugging into anything. However, my humidifier seems to be draining out of this tube rather than from the tray into the bucket.

low on freon is the compressor running?

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.
