Leaking water; reservoirs empty

I have a Danby DPAC 7599 (also called the 7599-2) and it dribbles water on the carpet, while the reservoirs to collect the water remain dry. I was told by a friend that he had the same issue with one, years ago, and that it is a blocked drain hose. But I've never taken apart ANY A-C unit EVER, and I'm not so sure I can remove and clean that hose. I wonder if I should pay to have it done, or if I can afford that.
The summer before, it was fine and worked as it should have.
THANKS
Rob

    I didn't think it was over 5 years old! Oh great, now what do I / we do?
    If you know you need a new hose, then by chance is the hose out of the A/C? What color is it? Clear? How long is it? How it is that your hose failed? How is it different from 1/2" or whatever size, clear plastic tubing with a hose clamp of whatever sort, at one (or both) ends??

    Thanks!

    I'm struggling with the same issue here...I bought it off a friend (or not) who stated that it worked perfectly since he bought it last summer. Now - dribbling on carpet. Have you had any success in rectifying the problem, Rob

I bought my Danby Premiere portatable A/C a few years ago and it has ALWAYS leaked from the first time I used it. I keep it in a boot mat so it doesn't ruin my wood floors and just keep sponges in the boot mat to mop up and toss out any water that leaks. It's not likely the safest thing to do but I'm not paying any more than I already did for the **** thing. Very DISSATISFIED and will never buy "portable" again.

In Dry and Air Condition mode, my Danby dpac 7597 is leaking from the bottom; not from the drain hose.
It is leaking water correct? Check your hose for clogs or a crack, follow it up and find where it is exactly coming from. If you need a part replaced, let me know and I can find you a replacement. If you have questions about accessing parts, let me know but the outer panel should be held together with simple screws.

Danby dpac 10071 air conditioner is not cooling. a red light is on next to an icon with a full cup. Does anyone know how to make it cool?
That indicates that the water collection bucket is full and needs to be drained. Once the unit is turned OFF, unplugged and drained, the unit will start up and start cooling again. The drain hole is on the rear of the unit, just above floor level. You can either drain it in a shallow sided pan capable of holding 1 quart of water. Or roll it to a floor drain or outside to drain it.

Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Can't find where to empty the water
I need to be clear on what you said. you "can't find where to empty the water." Meaning you have removed the water collection bucket and don't know where to empty it? If that's the case, emptying it in a bath tub, is the easiest way.

However, if you meant, you don't know how to remove the water collection tank. It's on the front of the unit, below the air intake louvers. It simply slides/pulls out of the dehumidifier, when you pull on the indented handles on both sides of the bucket.

To assist you further, I have included a link to the Owner's Manual to a Danby model similar to yours. You can download and print it for future reference.

I want to use my danby 7599 as a heater, do I need to have the exhaust tube vented to the outside on the back?
As per instructions on page 4 of the manual I printed out from the internet (which I cannot find again) :
The exhaust/window kit must be installed AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE UNIT IS OPERATING UNDER THE AIR CONDITIONING MODE.
There should be at least 11.8" clearance between the unit and any other objects or building structure. The unit should be installed on a level surface. The window kit does not have to be installed during operation of the remaining three modes. (Heating (DPAC 7599) /Dehumidifying/Fan)

My Danby Premiere DPAC 13009 is leaking water through the bottom. I have attached the continuous drainage hose, and no water is going through it. I tried to manually drain the tank using the drain at the...
Water is collected from cooling mode, not just dehumidifier mode. It does not always evaporate into the exhaust stream due to design limitations.


Of course the water should never leak even on the hottest day. Two suggestions:


Try removing the hose and attaching the external tank to see if it has any effect. Otherwise, you'll need to locate the exact source of the leak.

My danby air conditioner/dehumidifier model dpac 8399-4 leaks water all over the floor and never fills the holding tanks what can I do to fix this problem?
Probably needs cleaning. I assume it is on a level surface. Water drips from the evaporator coil into a collection tray of some type and then drains into the holding tank, this tray is either broken or the outlet is plugged.
Good Luck,
Gilsh

Danby air conditioner. Model # DPAC8020 or 7599 according to the Manual. The water is leaking out, it seems to be around the "Quick connect" nozzle at the back. The conection seems good, the...
I believe that model has a catch tray under the coils which catch the droplets of water and route that water into the tank. First, make sure your unit is pretty level. Then take a look at the bottom of the coils for the catch tray to make sure it's not dislodged or not level. Lastly check the catch tray outlet to make sure it's not blocked and will allow water to flow easily into the tank. The other thing is to make sure the tank is inserted correctly, and the catch tray water is routed into it. You don't mention if it ever worked correctly, but if this unit has been working for a long while, it may be dirty and you need to clean it to get the water to drip down correctly.
