Unit stopped pumping water out the hose...what do I do to correct this? It does fill the tank now but it's a real pain to empty it daily!

For the price IMHO these are good dehumidifiers. The problem from icing is either the dirty coils, or the dehumidifier is being used in an environment that is too cold. All dehumidifiers in this price range suffer from this. Also the reason the tank fills up is because there is a drain pan, with a drain port that goes out the hose connection. By its nature mold over time develops on this drain pan, and clogs the drain port. The water overflows in the tray and goes into the tank. It is a pain to take apart and clean, but once again all in this price range do this and need to be cleaned.

It's probably broken. Mine did the same after 18 months, the defrost cycle ceases to work and the unit just ices up. It stopped making headway against the humidity, the water in the bucket is basically the ice melting a little. I threw mine away. It was a nice dehumidifier while it lasted. Too bad it's not built well.

Throw it away. It's garbage and Sunpentown doesn't stand behind their products.

I started facing same problem after almost 2 years. It is really painful to empty the bucket every other day. Planning to buy a new but different brand this time.

Mary, when I first got my unit I had the same issue. But now it works much better once I removed a couple of the hoses. Instead of uses the full set of hose, I took two off. Try to remove one at a time until it performs better but make sure there's enough to reach the far side of the pool.

try using less water... I use mine all the time and find it only has issues when it's overfilled

Mark, This seems to be a common problem with these units. I don't have mine anymore because Consumer Reports Took away their recommendation because some of them were catching on fire. When I did have it, I solved the drain hose issue by gluing in a stopper with silicone glue. I can't remember exactly where the stopper went, but some close examination should allow you to figure out where to put the stopper. It was a small drain hole. Check on google re the fire issue. You may want to try to return it if you can. I got a Frigidare unit which is working fine.

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

Sounds like you have a problem with your hose. I would just replace the hose and it should work fine.

Mine was doing this. After 5 or 6 attempts to clean etc, I unplugged, removed the water tank, took it outside, tipped it upside down and gave it a good shake. Turned it up again and water started to dribble from the nozzle. Fitted it all back together, and it works again. Small blockage moved.

Have you drain the water out of the tank, and the hissing is the hose going to the tank from the compressor is loose put a clamp on it

Hi Paul H,Is there any update ? Have you talked to your technician ? It's almost a week and that pump is still not doing anything, I really want it to work.Thank you.

Mine quit pumping water but I had no idea why. It just sat there making a spinning sound. I threw it out tho I did order another for when I travel. I chose to go back to my full size Waterlpic with the nasal adapter for use at home.

I have not had that problem, check that your hoses are in the correct position in and out, also make sure that the filter is filled with water.

Hi, you might want to unscrew the bottom to see if it is clogged but first I would remove the hose and check there. I have had little objects get caught there and it would loose suction. I have 2 of these and have had the one for 5 years now and love them both. Hope this helps

Consumer Reports said in 2012 that there was an issue with some Frigidaire models where they would drain into the tank instead of the hose. They said Frigidaire has a fix kit they will send out for free. Try contacting Frigidaire...

there is a plastic insert in the hose which regulates the flow of the water . maybe it has something blocking the flow . take that plastic insert out . maybe that might fix your problem

Ok, first I never fill totally full the tank, only 80% maximum. Second, in your case you should contact the seller no matter which part has problem. I had leaking problem in the filter machine before. They helped to solve it. The seller has very good customer service.

Best thing is to unplug the filter. Then prime it by removing the cap on the intake tube, pour water until it fills up. Tightly secure the cap then run. If that doesn't work, then while it's running unsnap one of the 4 tabs and lightly lift up, that'll usually purge the air. If no go on those. Remove your hoses and check them for air leaks. I actually used Vaseline on each hose connection and on the main seal around the pump head. That all finally worked for me.
