Danby Silhouette leaking (by 2 users)
My Danby Silhouette was working fine for about a year and a half. All of a sudden it started leaking at the back of the unit. Each time the unit is turned on, the water leaks from the back. It seems as though none of the water is going into the removable bucket, it is being drained out through the back. We contacted Danby but their only suggestion was to clean the filter (the filter was clean). I hope someone can help.

Same problem with Danby DDR505R Silhouette Dehumidifier.
Here was my solution:
Unplug your device, clean the mess and remove the filter.
After you have cleaned out the filter, remove the water tank. Inside of
the area where the water tank was at the top you will see a small
opening (drain) which is where the water comes from. It is probably
clogged...
Take a few Q-tips and clean the inside of it. There is still probably
water trapped inside so expect more water to come down as you do this.
Once you're satisfied that the small drain is cleared, you can put
everything back together and you should be good to go!
I had the same problem and that fixed it.
