Bucket full light (or P1/P2/Eb) stays on with an empty bucket

The bucket switch logic depends on a float and a small switch or magnet. A misseated or warped bucket, a float stuck with slime, or a failed float switch causes a false full signal. On units drained by hose, a loose hose connection can leak water into the bucket.

Continuous drain or built-in pump not draining

Gravity drains fail from uphill or sagging hoses, a hose end sitting in water, missing washers or loose fittings. Pump drains fail from an unseated pump hose, kinks, a clogged pump filter screen or a dead pump. Most fixes are hose routing and cleaning.

Dehumidifier error codes: general approach (sensor, bucket, pump)

Most portable dehumidifiers share the same code groups: sensor faults (E1/E2/EH), bucket (P1/FL), pump (E5/P2) and refrigeration protection (E3/EC). Power-cycle and basic checks fix many; sensor faults need a part.
