The only thing you really need to check is that collector coil that the the water is supposed to condense upon, much like the "sweat" on a glass of ice water. If that collector coil is not nice and cold, then your machine needs freon or has some other serious problem.

I have borrowed a Evantair TWYL 2020 dehumifier which has no manual. Water is comming out of a small pipe at the bottom onto the floor. No water is going into the top collection tank. Any suggestions?
It sounds like the hose that the water is comming out of came off the fitting on the collection tank.

My dehumifier is leaking. The collector pan is fine. I took the covers off and could not detect anything. It is pretty simple...air blows by the coils, condenses, collects and runs into the pan. Looks...
TRY IT ON LOW FAN SPEED AND SEE IF IT LEAKS , MAKE SURE IF THERE IS A HOSE OR SMALL DRAIN PAN UNDER COIL   THAT IT IS CLEAN AND FREE OF DIRT .SOMETIMES ON HIGH WATER IS BLOWN PAST DRAIN PAN AND DRIPS ON FLOOR , THIS MAY BE A BAD DESIGN. IF THERE IS A FILTER CLEAN IT

My dehumidifier does not collect any water.
One of two things is happening here.

1. Either the compressor isn't running or...

2. The water is not being routed to the collection bucket properly. This dehumidifier has an option to connect to a hose that can be routed to a drain. Look in the back of the unit to see if you see a connection that could accomidate a garden hose. If you see this and there is no hose connected you may be dumping the water on the floor instead of the bucket. This could explain why your carpets are damp.

I have a GE AHK40LKG1 dehumidifier that is two years old. The fan and display come on, but the compressor will not run. It will start and runf for approx 30 seconds and then shut down, this process just keeps repeating. Any ideas. I do not think it is the capacitor or the compressor but rather the circuit board or the capacitor motor (I do not know how to trouble shoot these items)
