My Danby dehumidifier leaks out
The drain tube or hole that drains into the bucket is probably clogged.
Turn the unit OFF and remove the bucket. Look in the cavity where the bucket was removed for a drain tube or drain hole. Using an 18" long plastic Zip Tie or something similar (No wire coat hangers) , that's appropriately sized to fit in the hole. Carefully feed the ZIP Tie into the hole or tube and thread it as far as you can. At some point the drain will curve, but you have to carefully get past this point. Once the Zip Tie has reached as far as it can, slowly pull it out while rotating it. This will loosen the clog. Once you have it half way out, be prepared for water to follow. This method should solve the problem.

I am getting a E9 code on my HIsense dehumidifier model# DH35K1EW. What does this mean? Also unit is not picking up any water in bucket?
Problem re the Hisense 30... both the humidity sensor & temperature bulb have quit working in sync. Here's a great last resort fix... un-plug... remove the water bucket and the outer case (it splits like a clam shell and hinges at the top)... access the circuit board (remove 1 screw) and locate the humidity sensor on the left side (it has 1/4" white plastic cover). Remove the cover (it opens at the bottom) and then twist the sensor gently a couple of times so that the 2 wires touch, then fold it back. Next, gently twist the small black temperature bulb (at the immediate left of the humidity sensor) a couple of times so that the wires touch... then fold it back. Before reassembly, replace the water bucket then plug in the unit. It should run and read an E1 code... which is good. If it does, un-plug and reassemble the unit. From this point, the unit will run normally however continuously... BUT WHO CARES... it's now working! NOTE: it will shut off when the bucket is full.

DELONGHI DH300P E3
The E3 Code, indicates that the air intake filter needs to be removed and cleaned. Be sure the unit is OFF and unplugged before removing the filter. Filter cleaning should be performed at least once every two weeks, as part of Routine Maintenance.

Kenmore dehumidifer not working. odel251.50501010
I would suspect the cooling coils have leaked the freon and aren't cooling enough to condense the humidity into water. These units aren't really made to repair unless it's a switch or humidity sensor. The cost to have the leak fixed and freon reloaded would exceed just buying a new unit.

Problem with draining water through hose
I bought one of the FDL70S1 Frigidaire dehumidifiers today for my shop, and found that the $5 hose I bought to drain it through the floor wouldn't tighten down completely, allowing the hose to twist and wobble, a sure indication that it was not water tight. Simply adding a second washer, as described in another answer here, allowed me to tighten the hose sufficiently to produce a tight fit with no play between the hose and the dehumidifier. It hasn't leaked. I know it is a threads-per-inch issue, and I am stumped as to why Frigidaire would supply these units with a different thread pitch than the standard GHT (garden hose thread) 3/4" - 11.5 tpi. The threads on the unit appear to be 3/4 NPS - 14 tpi. Go figure!
