Have a cool works dehumidifier, works ok on mode to fill the basin but would want it to work with drain hose and cannot seem to understand the icons for it to function in that mode. Need explanation

SOURCE: Drain problem

I have the same problem and after talking (mostly waiting) with Fedders repair, I have been told how to solve the problem. Plug up the drain hole on the right side (the one not connected to the drain hose). The drain hole extends down about 5mm, outside measures 10mm and interior measures 7mm. They do come with a drain hold cover. Not a replaceable part with a number. Off to the hardware store.

let me know if you still have this

SOURCE: permanent drain won't work

The pan itself should be sloped towards the back....ensure that the drain pan is installed correctly and that the hose or outlet fitting is not blocked . It will not do any harm to give it a little extra tilt especially if the floor isn't level

SOURCE: I have a Whirlpool Gold dehumidifier with the hose

I have a similar Whirlpool dehumidifier and a similar problem. Have you tried setting it to continuous mode? My understanding was that it would only divert the drainage to a side hose when in the continuous mode.
