In the water bucket is a float assm. scale forms on the assm. and causes it to stick. Remove the float assm. and carefully remove the scale. Should start working again once done. If not you may have to replace it.
Mine is doing the same thing. The bucket is dry and the floor is flooded, so it is not an inability to condense, and it is not that the bucket has overflowed, and the bucket does not have a leak. It had been working great and then this suddenly started happening, it's as if the water is not flowing along the proper route and instead is gathering behind the bucket.
Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier willnot work or collect water.

Its a condensation sensor...senses "short" circuit conditions like...ice or ionized water.
"Defrost" The circuit board...it opens up and easily cleaned with 90% rubbing alcohol...use with care...(no flames or sparks....no power ..all safety precautions, etc...)
Reassemble and reset dehumidifier per unavailable service manual. If you received one, would love the link!
Otherwise (unplugged) push power button and plug in appliance. Will power cycle and run self test.

Not sure what you are calling the "collector". Most of the time, problems like this are caused by a build up of gunk at the point where the water, which has condensed and dripped down into a tray, leave the try and is suppose to go either into the water bucket or out the drain hose if that is attached. Because this area gets plugged up, the water has to go some where else, which results in leakage over the side of aforementioned tray.
The best solution is to remove all the covers to get to this drain area and clean it out, but that is a pain to do. I'd suggest trying to run a pipe cleaner or nylon wire tie back up into the area where the water is suppose to leave the dehumidifier on it's way to the bucket or hose. Flushing some water back that way with a turkey baster might work also, but would result in some splashing, causing a little additional temporary leakage.
Try to feel the lines on the compressor. The thinner line is High press and should get hot. The fatter line is Low press and should feel cold. Cold enough to allow water vapor to condense on it and turn into droplets. If neither occurs, compressor has lost "freon" charge.
Mine leaks. Had leaked at other times but i took the vacuum cleaner
to the front drain spout, that leaks into the removable basin. That
worked in the past, but i't's not working now . The water is
overflowing at the back of the catch tray and leaking out through the
bottom underneath. The holes are clear, so it shouldn't be doing this.
I am stumped.
to not work or collect water.
