I have a Maytag dehumidifier M7DH45B2A, and want to connect a drain hose, as opposed to using the bucket as we always have. What kind of hose, and do I just remove the bucket and hook up to the same opening that drops into the bucket now?

Unless it can be 100% gravity feed (1 inch drop per foot) you might need this:

Part: WPL8212501
Fits Maytag M7DH45B2A I have a Maytag dehumidifier - 496719-1.jpg (Click images to Enlarge)

Description:

Pump-drain

No. in Pack:

1

Additional info:

Dehumidifier pump assembly conveniently attaches the pump kit to you dehumidifier. connect a run hose to a nearby sink, pump, or floor drain. this pump will push water through a hose to up to 18 vertical feet for drainage through a window.
Stock Status: In Stock

Price:

$107.79 - addtocart.gif
This part is also known as:

If you can gravity feed it and can get a hose around the output pipe then any flexible hose will work that is slightly larger than the output pipe.

I do not have the adaptor for my maytag dehumidifier model #M7DH45B2A to attach the garden hose for continuous drainage. Where can I get one, or could you give me the specifications so I can go to the...
The drain hose connecter, which accepts a garden hose type coupling is an intricate part of the unit. It is not removable. If yours broke OFF, that's a different story. However, that Part # 5214A20027A Drain Hose Connect is no longer available. As are many other parts for Maytag Dehumidifiers, that were manufactured by the now defunct, Fedders.

Unfortunately, I do think you'll be able to run out to the local hardware store and get parts to fabricate one. As the lion's share of the part is internal. http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/search/partinfo.php?partsID=282294&modelsID=116727&typeName=dehumidifier

I'm sorry I don't better news for you. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

We had a hose attached to empty into a drain, but the hose came loose. Now it won't run because it shows the bucket is full.
Was the hose attached to the bucket or directly attached to the inside of the humidifier?
If it was to the bucket, the hose may have slightly pulled the bucket out of place, disengaging the safety switch. Unplug the unit and wait 5 minutes. Then plug the unit back in. Turn it to ON and remove the bucket and carefully reinstall it. You should hear a "click" sound when it's properly in place and the unit should start back up,

Hope this helps to solve your problem.

Do i need to disable the collection bucket to attach a drain line to my Matag dehumidifer M7DH45B2a? Or does it keep a full bucket and drain the overflow to the tubing drain?
No just connect the hose and open the hole to the unit to drain and return to usauge. it will fill to the drain opening and drain.

Dehumidifier emptys in the floor.
Check the float first - be sure the styrofoam on the bottom is still intact.  Be sure that you can move it up and down freely (and easily) with the bucket out of the machine.  If that is not bound up, and the foam is in place, next check the switch in the dehumidifier itself.  It's directly behind where the float goes - the way to test it is to turn the dehumidifier on and push the metal tab in with your finger.  The machine should cut out immediately - if it does not - the microswitch needs to be replaced.  (they're very cheap, and simple to replace)
