Our Haier dehumidifier, Model HD306 seems to be working okay except it is not gathering any water. Last year we had to empty the bucket every two days. The humidifier is in the same spot and under the same conditions as last year. Can you tell us what could be the problem

The first thing that comes to mind, is have you emptied the water collection bucket recently? If so, be sure that the bucket was properly reinstalled and is making contact with the bucket safety removal switch.

If you haven't emptied the bucket in the past few days, it may simply be full and will not start until it's emptied.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Hi,
When my unit did that, I found that it was because the drain tube was plugged with lint and/or dirt...
Run a large tooth pick or wire up inside the drain and see if the water doesn't start running right out of there...

Hi,
There are many reasons for a dehumidifier to not work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier.

IF IT IS IN A WARM ENOUGH AREA YOU COULD BE LOW ON FREON

A dehumidifier is basically a cooler. The condenser coil on the outside should feel cold to the touch usually around 34 to 38 degrees, as air passes over the coils they collect the humidity in the air and it then drips down into a collector tray. If the coil does not feel cold it is ether a bad control switch not letting the cooler (compressor) turn on, low on freon, or burned out compressor

Our HD306 model was used for one season and will not pull out water when we recently plugged it in.

I have 3 HD656E Haier Dehumidifier with the same problem runs but no water in bucket. How many did the Haier company make with this problem?
