I've accidentally left it out in the rain. The top is concaved with an antenna hole where water pooled/entered the unit. How to drain water out of it?

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees f, wrap the cube in a cotton place mat and put it in the oven to cook for one hour or two: water evaporated.

Also consider your outlet if you plan to leave it plugged in during rain. A lot outdoor outlets have a spring loaded cover that only seals it from water when it's not in use. If you want to leave it plugged in, you need a in-use outdoor outlet cover that's a plastic or metal dome and the power cord feeds in from the bottom. You can pick them up at any home store.

Just pull the water container out and dump the water. Water should be fully drained within 1 min after unit turned off.

Your unit is out of water. Lift the cover, turn it over, remove the fill cap, fill the reservoir with distiller water, put the cap back in place, then put the cover back on the unit and turn it back on.

Take the cover off the intake side of the pump. That is where the water flows into the pump and then gets pushed out through the outlet connector.

If there is water in you will have to drain it from the back. There are two metal clamps that attaches a grey hose once you were to remove back panel, of course unplugging and moving with a folly if you have one to some Where you don't mind getting flooded with water. I had to learn the hard way. Water everywhere. Once the tub is drain, hose reconnected with clamp and plug dry and connected the door will open. I am a female and was able to do it before calling service. Mind you after three time twice finding a coin in my pump I now have a new top loading washer again.. Good luck!

The first few months of ownership from May 2014 to July in San Diego, i didn't have to drain it in AC mode. The weather got more humid in July and August which apparently caused the unit to shut off due to being full. I had to drain the top knob twice in two days. I decided to attach a $5 garden hose (cut to about 4 feet) to the top drain plug and have it drain into a 5 gallon water bottle as suggested by a Home Depot worker. Problem solved but the bottle will fill up after about 2-3 days in humid conditions.

in the back on the bottom there is a plug that you can open. If nothing is coming out you probably have nothing to drain. It beeps when it needs to be drained. It also self-cleans so if you hear water trickling that could be it....I've never drained mine in two years. I live in LA where there is not much humidity. I wouldn't worry about it unless the machine is beeping or shuts down, I think it will shut itself down as a safety percussion too. hope this helps.

I have the same problem. There is a design flaw, get a sharp pointed knife or something and move the drain hole line inside the water resorvoir. The water is not draining into the lower part. I am going to ask to get mine replaced. I see at least one other person has had the same problem

The unit may be 'drenched' inside (could happen if the bottle were squeezed while in place). Pull the blue top off the white bottom. Drain completely, shake water off, & let dry. Once dry, reassemble & try again.

The corners of the floor are open. You can hose the floor down and the water will drain out the corners.

You can put a tarp or piece of plastic over it. You can also let water out and refill with warm water as needed

There is not way to drain it completely. You would have to lay it over on it's side to get any of the water out. Actually, ours started leaking after this winter and we ended up filling it with 200 lbs. of sand last weekend. They don't make them like they used to! Our first one had a nicer base.

Let it drain completely and gofom there.if not most hobby lobbys can help. I have since upgraded to the outdoor models and am having a blast. Thanks amazon

The top does not allow water into the unit. The bottom however is slated and rain bounces off the deck and gets inside. Quick answer is, whatever is inside will get wet.

It's pretty well designed for that. On the side of the unit (left side as you are looking at the front of it), there is a small cut out in the cover. On the inside, across fom this cut out, there is a standard 'garden' hose male thread. Just put a garden hose through the hole, screw it on, and your water is drained off to where you have the other end.

What I do is just turn it upside down (be careful of the plastic threads) and let it drain.. That's about all you can do..
