Part #5303306080
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.
Humidistat Control – Part Number: 5303296823

Humidistat Control
Part #5303296823
This is a humidistat control for a dehumidifier. The humidistat on your dehumidifier responds to the humidity in the air to determine if the appliance should continue to dehumidify or shut off, based on the desired humidity level. This control needs to be replaced if the dehumidifier wont shut off when the desired humidity level is reached. This part is approximately 3.5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. The part will be easy to replace, simply remove the front cover, remove the humidistat from the bracket, and remove the two push-on wire connectors. Reverse this process to reinstall the control. Be sure to disconnect power to the dehumidifier before completing this repair.

Red Indicator Light Lens
Part #318250801
This indicator light lens protects bulbs in ranges, ovens, stoves, and humidifiers. The lens keeps the bulb from getting cracked, scratched, and damaged. It is 1 inch long and 1 inch wide. If your lens is defective or broken, or the bulb is easily getting damaged, replacing the lens can be a solution. Refer to the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for further accurate guidance. Remember to unplug your appliance from the power source before starting this project and wear gloves to ensure your hands are protected.
Auto Shut Off Switch – Part Number: 5308016437
No Longer Available
Auto Shut Off Switch
Part #5308016437
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.

Unit would run continuously and not shut off

Removed the front cover and then the humidistat from the bracket. Two push on wire connectors and then reversed. Very straightforward and excellent part matching. Given the prices for new dehumidifiers it was great to breathe life back into this unit which does its job well. Thanks for the easy to use web site and fast fast service!

The repair was just putting the float into the inside of the tank itself and then, inserting the two pins (left and right) into each slot so the float operates up and down freely.

The float has two prongs that fit two snap fasteners on the reservoir tank. I just pressed the float prongs into the snap fasterners and inserted the reservoir tank into the dehumidifier. Turned the switch and pressto! We are in business.
