Model #FAD704DWD The drain holes are clear and a little bit of water does collect into the bucket, but there is enough water collecting under the compresser motor that it is running out onto the floor
SOURCE: Unit runs but water collects on the floor
The drain hole within the unit is most likely plugged up with an accumulation of crud. (Common problem). Depending on the make/model, you may be able to access that drain hole by simply removing the collection bucket. If not, then unplug the unit and remove the housing to gain access to the internal drain.
SOURCE: Does not collect water (also 2 years old).
the evaporater coils rot out and the freon leaks out. thats about all the longer these newer ones last now.

Hi,
There are many reasons for a dehumidifier tto 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.

Well, the first obvious thing to check is whether your collection bucket has a hole or a crack in it which is allowing the condensate to leak out onto the floor.
The other possibility is that you are missing your DRAIN CONNECTOR COVER which blocks up the drain hose connection on the side of the unit. This hose connection is used when you want to run the unit continuously with a drain hose attached and don't want to have to empty the bucket all the time. There shoud be a small screw in plug to cover this drain connector when not in use. See page 7 of the manual for detailed instructions and illustrations.
If your collection bucket is just overfilling and spilling onto the floor and the unit just keeps on running anyway, then you have a problem with the float level shut off switch which needs adjusting or replacement.
Please comment back here to this page if you have any details to add, have any questions, have difficulty accessing the links, or just require further general assistance and I will respond as soon as I see it.
I hope that was helpful to you, good luck.
