If the bucket is full indicator on your dehumidifier is on, but the bucket is empty, or your dehumidifier is overflowing, you may have a problem with the float. This device is located near the bucket and moves up as the water level in the bucket rises. The float will trip the water level switch when the bucket is full. This is a safety device to prevent the unit from overflowing. When the switch is tripped, power to the compressor and fan motor circuits is disrupted until the bucket is emptied. Make sure that the float assembly can move or pivot freely so that it can trigger the level switch when the bucket is full. If the assembly is warped or damaged it should be replaced.

The compressor start relay attaches to the compressor in your refrigerator. If your refrigerator will not start, one of the most common parts to fail is the compressor start relay. Sometimes called the controller, this device is used to boost the compressor until the unit is running. Other common symptoms connected to start relays include: refrigerator will not start, will not cool, is making a clicking, humming or buzzing sound, or the compressor itself is warm to the touch. You may also smell a burnt plastic odor if the relay has failed. Shake the relay and listen for any rattling, as this is a sign that it is faulty.

The auto shut off switch is for dehumidifiers. If the water bucket is not attached properly the switch will ensure the compressor does not run. You may need to perform a continuity test on the switch to determine if the part has indeed failed since you cannot tell by looking at it. Make sure your dehumidifier is unplugged before you begin. Consider wearing gloves to protect your hands while performing this task. This is a genuine OEM part that comes straight from the manufacturer.

This humidity control, also known as a humidistat unit, is used in dehumidifiers. The control monitors and detects when the air is damp and will signal to turn off and on automatically so you do not have to worry about manually controlling this. If your control unit is not consistently monitoring the air and unable to turn off, make sure to check for damage and replace if necessary. Refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for installation instructions and further guidance. Unplug the humidifier from the power source as a safety precaution before beginning this repair.

This genuine replacement drain plug, also known as a drain cap, is manufactured for a dehumidifier. This part is black in color, is approximately 0.5 inches in diameter, and approximately 1.5 inches tall. The drain cap prevents the water that has been collected from the air from draining out of the dehumidifier reserve by plugging the water bucket, and allows you to drain the water with ease by unplugging it. Without the plug, your dehumidifier will not be able to hold water. No tools are necessary to replace this part, simply unplug the old part and push the new replacement plug into the plug hole.
