The dehumidifier is reading full even though it is empty

These have a sensor which detects a 'full' water container.. maybe a float or a pressure switch.. This may have become displaced or stuck.

Bucket switch might be stuck.

Sounds like your float is stuck in the full position, or the sensor that shows full is stuck on full.
If tank is empty but shows full, problem lies where full signal is coming from.

Hello,

First, make sure the reservoir is empty. If you plug the unit in and see a green power light, but the unit won't run, make sure the reservoir is properly inserted. Many dehumidifiers have switches or sensors to make sure that the reservoir is placed so that it won't leak. Look for these sensors and make sure the reservoir is engaging them. If your dehumidifier has a float or switch to indicate a full reservoir, make sure this switch isn't being tripped accidentally.

Good luck.

Error code 01 - unit has a sealed system leak; most warranties are 5 years.

Hi,
There may be a little rod of lever which is pressed by the float in the bucket when it is full - I suspect that it may be jammed in the "up" or "full" position.

If you can see it and pull it down to its normal position the machine should start again.
Hope this helps, but if not let me know what you find. Cheers, D.
