My ebacs 2650e has the red light illuminated but is not full of water. Have tried turning off and on at the plug, starts up but switches off straight away

Plug a lamp in the socket and see if it works. If it does try the unit, if it does not do anything look for a reset. If you cannot find that (there may not be one) get the schematic and trouble shoot the unit.

Shannon, this is also an indication that the water collection bucket was not reinstalled properly. Turn the unit OFF, unplug the unit and remove the water collection bucket. While it's out, check the top of the bucket for a float valve (if yours is so equipped). As it may be stuck in the UP position. If so, jiggle the arm of the float valve to make it return to the down position. When you reinstall the bucket, be sure that it fit's "squarely" from top to bottom into the bucket holder and makes firm contact with the bucket safety removal switch on the back wall of the bucket holder. The bucket should not tilt down at the bottom when installed properly.

Lug the unit in and turn is ON. If all was checked and done correctly, the bucket full light should not illuminate.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Usually when this occurs, the unit "thinks it's full', because either the water collection bucket is not installed properly or the float valve (if you model has one) in the top of the bucket, is stuck in the "UP' position.

Turn the unit OFF & unplug it. Remove the water collection bucket and check for the float valve. If it's stuck in the UP position, jiggle the handle to make it return to the DOWN position. Then reinstall the bucket, being sure that it fits into it's holder "squarely" from top to bottom and is making firm contact with the Bucket Safety Removal Switch on the rear wall of the bucket holder. If installed properly, the bottom of the bucket should not tilt down at all. Plug the unit in and turn it ON. If everything was done correctly, the Full Bucket Light should not illuminate.

try to check the water leakage or the origin where water comes from or maybe the area where unit locate was a very hi. humidity.

Hi,

Here is a tip that explains what can be happening to make the dehumidifier showthat the bucket is full when it is not.

Dehumidifier Problem It shows Bucket Full

The fan is mounted on a very poor quality 3 angle mount. The weight of the motor distorts the mount over time so the the fan starts clipping other fittings when spinning. You can turn the mount around so the motor hangs upright again. The latest EBACs are of very poor quality...

bucket may need a shim to keep it in contact with bucket full switch (switch thinks bucket has been removed)

I have scrapped the product

Hi,
There are many reasons for a dehumidifier to not work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier.
