The bucket fills up but we have to put a towel down because it leaks all over the floor. What could be wrong ?

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that the bucket fills with water and overflows on your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FAD704DUD. Please make sure your dehumidifier is installed on a level that will support it with a full bucket of water. If the dehumidifier is moving when it fills with water then this could possibly be the cause of the bucket overflowing. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Kenmore 54351 Dehumidifier is leaking -- water isn't going into the tray, but seems to be leaking out into the floor.

Mine is doing the same thing. The bucket is dry and the floor is flooded, so it is not an inability to condense, and it is not that the bucket has overflowed, and the bucket does not have a leak. It had been working great and then this suddenly started happening, it's as if the water is not flowing along the proper route and instead is gathering behind the bucket.

De500 pump failure

I agree with Mike Kolbay's earlier very complete answer. The water intake to the pump is quite narrow, and clogs easily with accumulated lint and bacterial muck. While the covers are off the machine, thoroughly clean the drip tray and all the water passages. A piece of crud the size of your smallest fingernail can cause water to overflow onto the floor, rather than going into the tank.

Water overflows when filled how do I adjust?

Remove the tank and locate the switch and 'teeter' (that the tank sits on). Make sure the tank is able to move when filled. You will have to adjust the position of the switch to allow the filled (teetered) tank to shut the device off.

Is it possible for you to drain the water into a nearby floor drain using a hose?

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

Overflowing

I have the same problem. Some kind of clog near the sensor I'd imagine. Where is the sensor for that?

Kenmore Dehumidifier Model 53701

Assuming the unit is level look for a blockage in the drip pan outlet causing it to overflow.

Good luck,

My dehumidifier will not stop when it is filled and overflows on the floor

Did I answer this yesterday for you>

I think your tank is being held up by a piece of debris or packing material. Remove your tank and look for some obstruction.

Are you able to put a hose on your tank and run the water to a drain or sump? That is the best way to dispose of the water.

Leaking water onto the floor. bucket is filling, but is not overflowing. i'm stumped

Take the bucket out, fill it with water, and see if it has a hole or crack. Also look above the bucket and see if the drippage is coming straight down or being diverted by an obstruction.

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)

The problem you're having can be caused by a couple things.

1. The float valve in the top of the water collection bucket is broken or is stuck in the Down position.
Remove the bucket, and inspect the float valve for damage or sticking. If it's stuck in the DOWN
position, jiggle the arm of the float valve, to make it works freely.

2. The water collection bucket is not installed properly and water is leaking out the back of the
top of the bucket. When installing the bucket, be sure it's installed "squarely" into the bucket
holder from top to bottom and making firm contact with the bucket safety removal switch on the
rear wall of the bucket holder.

I hope this helps you to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.
