Where can I find the quick connect hose for the 400P dehumidifier?

Did you punch out (or cut) the plug that the hose connects to? If not, its blocking the water from draining to the hose.

Please rate 4 stars if this is helpful. Thanks and good luck!

Not knowing which brand and model number dehumidifier you have, makes telling you what parts you need difficult at best. Most dehumidifiers only require a garden hose section, no longer than 5 feet, that connects to rear of the unit. The connection will be a threaded male connection. It is plastic, so don't over tighten it and crack it. It will have a screw off cap, which must be removed to connect the hose.

Keep in mind, most dehumidifiers rely solely on gravity to drain the water thru a hose. So, the hose should slope down from the unit and straight over to the floor drain.

If the above didn't help you, get back to me with the brand and model number of your dehumidifier.

Down. If it's pointing up ans was activated, water could go into parts of the unit, where it doesn't belong.

Check the hose connection on the dehumidifier, as well as the hose for clogs. That is what usually happens when a hose is connected and it doesn't drain properly.

Also, the hose should be no more than 5 feet long and MUST slope downward to drain properly. As, the drain relies entirely on gravity. There is no pump.

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

I was under the impression that the drain hose connected to the bucket with a screw on connection such as with a garden type hose.

I am searching for a resolution to the E3 code (same init) and happened upon this request. The manual can be downloaded from DeLonghi.com but that advises you to call the service center.

That is what it is designed to do. Most dehumidifiers come with a hose connection on the bucket. To use this hose connection there is a knock-out inside the connection where the hose attaches that must be removed. The alternative is to empty the bucket when it gets full. Most Dehumidifiers are set up with a switch that will shut it down when the bucket gets near to full.

let me know if you still have this
