0 Good Morning Gary.Kamplain, I understand you want to convert your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FDL50S1, so it will continuously drain. Please follow the steps below: For constant drainage operation, you will need a garden hose and a drain nearby to discharge the water into. 1) Remove the bucket from your appliance and set it aside. 2) Lift up the side flap located on the left side of your dehumidifier as looking from the front. 3) Insert the female threaded end of the hose through the opening. 4) Screw the garden hose onto the threaded portion of the tray underneath the bucket opening. 5) Make sure the hose is secure so there are not leaks. 6) Direct the hose toward the drain making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water flowing. 7) Place the end of the hose into the drain. 8) Place the bucket back in your appliance and make sure that it is located correctly. 9) Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on your dehumidifier for continuous draining to start. Note: If your appliance stops operating check that the bucket full light is illuminated. If it is remove the bucket and empty the contents and then check the seal between the hose and the drip tray. If there is a small leak then replace the hose gasket and re-tighten the hose. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards-
