Pump Drain

1. Improper 

    bucket 

    installation.

2. Blockage to 

    drain hose 

    system.

3. Back 

flow

 of 

    water through 

    pump drain 

    hose.

4. Improper pump 

    drain hose 

    installation.

5. Faulty drain 

    pump.

1. Unplug the dehumidifie

r.

2. Remove the bucket.

3. Check to make sure that there is nothing

    blocking the connection at the base of the

    pump or the bucket.

4. Reinstall the bucket, taking care that it is

    installed properly.

5. Check to make sure that the pump drain

    hose is not crimped or blocked.

6. Check to make sure that the pump drain

    hose is not both under water and sitting at

    a height above the dehumidifier – this can

    cause a “back flow” of water from the hose

    to the dehumidifie

r.

    taking care that the pump drain hose is

    installed properly.
