Why is there no water in the tank of my de500p?

Pump is defective.Is your pump light going on and off???If it is it means the pump is defective.I fiddled around with mine for a day and finally realized the pump is the culprit.So i stopped using the pump,which you can switch off on the panel...where it says pump.Finally I just drilled a hole into the continuously draining hole at the tank and put a tube into it and the problem got solved

It certainly may solve the problem. It's worth the effort.

Hi,

First, make sure the humidistat isn't set too high by adjusting it to the lowest humidity setting and running it again. Next, test the dehumidifier by placing it in a closed bathroom with a hot shower running. If you don't see water collecting in the unit after several minutes, turn the unit off and clean all dehumidifier filters and coils. If, after adjusting the settings and cleaning the unit, you still don't see water collecting, you may have a refrigeration issue. This situation will have to be addressed by a qualified technician.

Good luck

yes jenn when the tank fills it will shut off so that it dosent run all over the floor on many models you can hook a hose on to the tank and find a place to drain itto like a floor drain etc

Did you find the solution to your delonghi 50 pint issue? We have similar problem and No Manual - we are looking for manual too, any thoughts on where to find that too, please?

I only got as far as disconnecting the filter between the small water bucket and the pump. I was able to get the pump working again after I cleaned the water bucket and filter by flushing them repeatedly with fresh water. The lines after the pump contained cloudy water, but I figured since the pump was able to push it out past the pump already, it shouldn't cause problems this far down. It saved a lot of time and hard work not having to disconnet the rest of the tubing or take the water bucket off. I also realized if I disconnet the first water collection tubing from just under the front panel and point the open end down, all the water in the bucket flows out. This part is so easy to get to. Just pull out the big collection tank and it's right there on the left toward the back. I can do this every week! Maybe then nothing will sit long enough in the small water bucket to turn into any kind of filter-clogging material.

This should solve your problem.
