Unit runs all the time we have a water leak that we can't find. Carpet is wet so I know there is moisture to remover. Unit is 10 yrs old and is not collecting water anymore. Has worked great for years any help on fixing this unit.
Unplug it and let it dry out. Place it on old newspaper and start. Check the paper and look for the wet spot. That will let you know where the water is coming out of the unit. Check that area, it is probably a bad seal on the drain or a crack in the water container.
SOURCE: Unit cycles off but back on quickly. Does not remove moisture.
It needs the Cover removed and take to the Local Car wash and clear the Front and Back out get all the Junk off of it Use Engine Cleaner first let soak then High Rinse Bring Home let sit outside for A Couple of Hours reassemble and She should Run like New ttech
SOURCE: Unit runs but is not operating properly.

Depends on he conditions of the water. These units are relatively inexpensive and typically do not justify the expense of repair. I'ld donate it to an air conditioning school and buy another one.

There is some service that you can do ... Clean the filter and the cooling coils, regularly. Check the humidity level that you have the unit set on. It may be set to low and there's just not that much humidity in the air at this time, for it to collect. From what you said, it sounds like you may have it set on continuous cycle which could account for the lack of a lot of water in the bucket. In continuous run, the fan stays ON all the time. It's supposed to do that, so that the air is constantly moving and the sensor only turns the compressor ON, if it senses a humidity level 5% higher than what you have it set for. Try running the unit on a 1 or 2 hour cycle (if your model will do that) rather than continuous cycle.
Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.
