It's a piece of garbage. Chinese made junk. Had 3 of them and they all broke down within 16 mos.

If you have the water discharge connect to a external pipe, then the connection was loose. This will be the best guess from me.

probably the mini fan from the back of the system is full of dust, dust it off with a vacuum hose very carefully it might work. good luck.

Yeah, there is a warranty, but I got a notice that this one and lots of others were being recalled--something about a fire hazzard. Maybe it's resolved, but I'd call to find out before buying any dehumidifier. I'll be doingthe same thing because we need one in our basement.

If you do not turn on the dehumidifier function, you'll likely never have to empty the bucket. If you do turn the function on, you may have to empty it after 3-6 hours of use.

I have had a few of these burn out on me from using the dehumidifier into a sink with this pump attached. The vendor that I purchased from has been excellent in replacing the faulty units. After several replacements, I stopped keeping it on the automatic switch and just plug/unplug the unit each day. In my opinion, the sensor unit cannot handle the load. Hope this helps.

It depends on the humidity setting. Ours stops when the desired humidity level is reached or when the tank is full.

No bucket means the portable air conditioner has no bucket to collect water when it is in dehumidifying mode. You must hook up a hose to it and let it drain while it is running.

There isn't much to set. The Temp. sets it's self once the dehumidifer is turned on. You would then set the humidity level with the buttons on the top right hand side. Ours is in the basement so right now it's set at 45. Other then that you would just check to see if the light is blinking on the left. If so, then the bucket probably needs to be emptied. Hope this will help!!!

First, I would make sure all the settings are correct. If they are, and if you have humidity, then I would say you got a dud. We're in the northeast, where it's been disgustingly humid for it seems like forever, and ours is working fine. We empty it 3 or 4 times a day and run it on high, usually. If you got a defective unit, I don't know what the return policy is, but would think the company -- or Amazon -- will honor the warranty without any problem.

It will run while its dehumidifying and for a few minutes after the compressor shuts off; unless you have it on continuous mode.

I gave up on LG dehumidifiers. The original broke under warranty but it still cost me $75 to replace it. That was the service department charge to tell me it was shot. The replacement LG died within a year. I have switched to another brand which works well.

Mine does have a tiny amount of water remaining but not nearly as much as you have. I don't know if that mean there is something wrong. Perhaps try it running on the intermittent timer compare it to running it continuous.

Looks like you ran out of room before you completed your question. It is difficult to say without seeing it. The flapper could be leaking, the top of the Fluidmaster could be leaking, a sand particle could be in the Fluidmaster and may need flushing and/or replacing, or the water level adjustment could be wrong and the water is running out of the overflow.

When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run. However it has a very annoying design fault. Say you set the RH (relative humidity) at 50%. Once the dehumidifier reaches it, it will then turn off, but it is usually for less than a minute, since it doesn't take long for the humidity to climb back up. It doesn't sound like a big deal, until you realize how loud the machine is and how distracting it is when it is going on and off every 3 minutes. But if you leave in a very humid place (I live in Miami, FL) it is always running until the bucket fills up.... so no annoying on/off for me. When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run.

sometimes if you unplug it and then plug it back in it reverts back to a default humidity setting. check to see if the setting is below 65%. i intentionally put mine on 45% and just let it run. when it reaches 45% it still runs but the dehumidifier part is on standby until the level goes above 45%.

The unit empties with air pressure. You pressurize the unit and fluid comes out a seperate drain hose.

My suggestion is to leave the unit operating in a closed space, with a door (a bathroom is good for this), for a couple of hours. then check if there is visible vapor. It your living space is exceedingly dry (especially if you have electric heating), the water vapor emitted will evaporate very rapidly after coming off the transducer. It takes a while for the relative humidity in the space being humidified to be high enough for water vapor to be visible.
