Help! Water keeps filling the tank instead of going out the hose




By oskarf on Jul 07, 2009

" "
I like my new Danby dehumidifier 410A and it pulls lots of water out of the air, but about every other week it starts filling the tank, which is a huge problem, as I am not easily able to go up and down my basement stairs. I have the hose hooked up properly, as far as I can tell. It hangs vertically down from the place where it is hooked up. I am about to go on vacation and I need this hose to work consistently! HELP!!!!!!

Had the same problem. Make sure you tighten the house a little with pliers. Also, make sure the dehumidifier is up a lot higher than where you're draining it into. Mine drains into a utility sink. But I have the dehumidifier propped up onto a dresser. I cut a small piece of hose to run into the sink. Seems to be working now.

It will take 5 min or so to establish a water flow, so be patient after you hook everything up. Good luck.
