I have the unit connected to a hose so no water enters the bucket. However, the bucket full lite will turn on, the unit beeps, then shuts off. About 10 seconds later, it turns back on, runs for about 15-30 seconds, then repeats this cycle.
It appears as if the water may not be flowing through the hose.
* When you use a hose the unit must be located near the drain. If the hose is to long the water will not flow freely and cause the water to back up in the hose triggering the bucket full.
* If the unit is lower or the hose runs up hill even the slightest incline will cause the water not to flow backing up to the machine
* Hose must remain flat and in a down hill flow to the drain if you are running a longer hose than recommended. If you are have a long distance to run the hose elevate the dehumidifieer by placing it on a stand, milk crate, anything that will hold the unit. Be sure it is large enough and strong enough to support the unit to prevent it from falling. This will help siphon the water from the unit and prevent any water to back up the unit.
* If your using an old hose make sure there are no kinks and water flows freely through the hose. Any kinks or type of pinch in the hose will cause the water to back up
I hope this helps resolve your issue. This is the most common mistake when using a hose.
Testimonial: "The hose is 2 feet long and drains in a sump pump. It is downhill all the way. There are no kinks nor blockages and water flows freely through the hose. So this can't be the problem. Thanks anyway."
SOURCE: dehumidifier won't turn on
Make sure the buicket is seated all the way. Sometimes it doesnt fully engage on the left side. If it is then it may need to be serviced. LG has a 5 year warranty on these models. They usually will tell you of a service center nearby which will service it free of charge since it is under warranty. If you do not live near a service center they may ship you a replacement and you send your old dehumidifier back to them. Make sure you have your reciept when you contact them so they can verify it is under 5 years old.

I Have an LG Dehumidifier and water has leaked out to the basement floor, it has a hose that drains into the floor
SOURCE: Bucket fills up instead of water flowing out hose
There must be a blockage in the hose causing the water to back up and flow into the bucket. Try pushing a flexble peice of wire through the hose to unblock it.
SOURCE: CH1 IS SHOWN AS WELL AS THE BUCKET FULL LIGHT
I have a LG model LHD65EBL that first started icing up along the top edge during humid days. After several months of this, it finally stopped working and displayed CH01 with the bucket full indicator flashing.
I took apart the dehumidifier, removed the temperature sensor from the coil and rubbed it between my fingers. I then plugged in the unit and it started right up, confirming either a sensor or other circuit problem related to that sensor. For my model unit, I ordered sensor assembly #6877A30013L from RepairClinic.com for $21.75 + shipping.
When I received the assembly, I measured the new and old sensor with an ohm meter: new sensor = 5.5KOhms, old, defective sensor = 5.34KOhms. I installed the new sensor assembly and the unit is working fine.
Just because the bucket full indicator is flashing along with an error code does not mean there is a problem with the bucket full switch.
SOURCE: the bucket full light is on and unit will not run.
Look inside where the bucket goes in at the top right hand side is the bucket switch. Hold it in and start the unit. If it runs the arm on the switch must be bent SLIGHTLY until it makes contact with the button and the lite goes out with the bucket in.
