We have the Arcticaire ADR4066 and have installed a cut piece of garden hose to use the direct drain feature. We got the unit yesterday (Friday, Sep. 22/06) and have noticed that instead of draining through the hose, the tank still fills up. The hose is connected to the nipple, as per the directions, but the water is still coming out of the hole on the opposite side. Are we missing something? Have we overlooked something simple? Thanks! I am having the same problem. Unit is brand new. I determined that the knock out in the direct drain opening was removed and that the hose was not clogged (somehow blocked although new). The unit still fills the bucket first and then shuts down. The instructions (which did not come with the unit and I downloaded from mfgs. website) gives no instruction other than to attach the hose. I assume you have to leave the bucket in place and the unit knows to drain via the hose if the knockout is removed and the hose is attached. Confusing.......in that this should not be a problem with a new unit, never previously operated.

Danby Dehumidifier Model # DDR586R Serial # 6763858666 (only 28 months old) - Does not collect water or starts the compressor (was fine just a week ago). Fan runs fine, display is fine, air filter is clean. Is there some switch/relay that control the compressor that may be bad? Can the compressor control be by-passed (or manually closed) to verify the compressor working condition? Thanks.
