I find it rather amazing, that the Owner's Manual for your Model Danby unit, shows the drain hose in the parts list, but makes no reference as to how to hook it up. Since, they also make this model for Sears, under the Kenmore name.I checked the Owners Manual for it. Same thing, no mention of how to connect it. So, that leaves you just one alternative, contact Danby Customer Support 1-800-263-2629, for the answer.

In case you have misplaced your Owner's Manual, here is a link to it that your can download & print for future reference. http://www.danby.ca/cms/uploads/products/en_manual/DPAC12010H-EFOM.pdf

Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

My comfort site dehumidifier. When the bucket is full

If water is coming out on the floor from your Comfort Site dehumidifier even when the bucket is not overflowing, there may be a few possible causes for this issue:
  1. Improper Placement of the Bucket: Ensure that the bucket is correctly positioned and inserted into the dehumidifier. Make sure it is securely in place, and the water outlet on the bucket is aligned with the dehumidifier's drainage system. If the bucket is not properly seated or aligned, it can result in water leakage.
  2. Bucket Seal or Gasket: Check the bucket's seal or gasket for any signs of damage, wear, or misalignment. If the seal is compromised or not making proper contact with the dehumidifier's body, water can escape and leak onto the floor. Clean the seal and ensure it is free from debris or obstructions. If necessary, replace the seal or gasket with a compatible replacement part.
  3. Drainage Hose Connection: Some dehumidifiers have the option to connect a drainage hose directly to the unit for continuous draining. If a drainage hose is connected, make sure it is securely attached and there are no leaks or loose connections along the hose. Ensure that the other end of the hose is properly directed into a drain or receptacle.
  4. Internal Drainage System: The dehumidifier's internal drainage system, including the collection tray or drain pan, may be clogged or blocked. Remove the bucket and inspect the drainage area for any debris, buildup, or blockages. Clean the drainage system thoroughly, ensuring that water can flow freely from the collection tray into the bucket without any obstructions.
  5. Check for Excessive Humidity: If the dehumidifier is operating in an area with extremely high humidity levels, it may struggle to remove moisture effectively. This can result in excessive condensation or water buildup that leads to leakage. Consider using additional dehumidification methods or addressing the underlying humidity issue in the space.
If the issue persists after checking these potential causes, it is advisable to consult the user manual for your specific Comfort Site dehumidifier or contact the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or offer guidance based on their knowledge of the product.

Portable ac Danby Premiere DPA110CB5BP spitting water while it fans.

If you are referring to the unit doing this on the outside of the structure, this is normal. the "Hamster Wheel" is designed to carry a small amount of water and create a light amount of water to go onto the condenser to help with the evaporation and cooling process. If this is on the inside of the structure, the unit may not be level or another issue causing improper drainage.

Danby premiere dpac 12010h does not fully start, shuts off, repeats

Unlikely to be a capacitor but they aren't expensive to replace. More likely to be compressor failing to start, or controller faulty. Try powering up the compressor and fans to see if they run independently of the controller

Leaking water on floor, even without water hooked up. Seems to be coming from under the fridge

Your freezer defrost drainage tube may not be routed to the evaporator tray under the refrigerator. If this is the case, humidity condensed from the freezer, then drained down the tube will be dripped onto the floor.
The second theory is that the drainage tube could be blocked. Humidity in the freezer is removed from the air sent to a drainage tray, at the rear of the freezer, which has a drainage tube which carries the water to an evaporation tray at the bottom of the refrigerator unit, on my GE. if the drainage tube is blocked, the water will find another route. Check the drainage tube after you find it. First try inspection. if there is standing water in tray in the freezer, use a flexible wire to clear the tube.
Good luck!

My Danby Premiere DPAC 13009 is leaking water through the bottom. I have attached the continuous drainage hose, and no water is going through it. I tried to manually drain the tank using the drain at the...

Water is collected from cooling mode, not just dehumidifier mode. It does not always evaporate into the exhaust stream due to design limitations.


Of course the water should never leak even on the hottest day. Two suggestions:


Try removing the hose and attaching the external tank to see if it has any effect. Otherwise, you'll need to locate the exact source of the leak.

Unit leaking water from bottom onto the floor

I know how to fix this problem, I fixed mine. The design of this unit is flawed in two ways, and you should fix both. Start by removing the back panel - just remove all the phillips head screws (you have to take out the screen filter as some of the screw heads are otherwise hidden). You will see that there is a "drain" system" (little notch cutout above the small water catcher with a tiny drainhole at the bottom) CAREFULLY drill a quarter inch hole about a quarter to half inch below the notch - drill just through the plastic, not into the fins behind. This will allow the water to properly drain. Secondly, on the lower right is the "air intake condenser" - I dont know why but they didnt put a filter on this so mine was caked with black junk after three years of use. Clean it best you can, use a brush to get between the fins and cut a $1 generic A/C filter to size and insert it. Finally, make SURE that the unit tilts backwards just little. I put a double folded towel uner the front casters. Drainage is critical as is the evaporator. Otherwise there is no chance this unit will keep the floor dry for more than about 3 years of ongoing use. Goodluck!!

Fujitsu wall mounted air conditioner.

 during Cooling and Dry modes, if the unit is used under conditions of
lower temperature (18C)  the heat-exchanger may freeze, leading to water leakage and other damage.
If the unit is used for long periods under high-humidity conditions, condensation may form on the surface of the indoor
unit, and drip onto the floor or other objects underneath. (About 80% or more)



Increase Temp to 20 and also run coil dry cycle,
