5 I found another person online that has the same problem: After getting no help from the manufacturer and realizing that it was going to cost $45 just to figure out what was wrong with it, I dismantled the dehumidifier myself in search of a solution. I suspected it was the humidity sensor, so I ordered the part off Repair Clinic website (repairclinic.com). It cost $18.20 plus shipping. AND IT WORKED!! I was so relieved that I wouldn't have to buy a new dehumidifier. It's been running for a day now, so we will see. Here's the website link: http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Thermistor/6877A30013R/1462299 Part info: Thermistor 6877A3001R Here is another person with the same problem and how they fixed it: I had the common blinking bucket empty light and humidity level stuck at 1%. Searched the web and found out that the culprit is a $18 ($25 w/shipping) sensor... part# AP4652359 at Appliance Parts Pros. Only needed a phillips head screwdriver and 30-45 minutes. Pretty simple. Dehumidifier ran successfully overnight, so I think I'm good for awhile. Here is some additional info. regarding the bucket full light: Some dehumidification machines have a sensor in or near the bucket that senses if the water level gets too high and will shut down the whole machine. Most of the time if this sensor goes bad, the whole board and the sensor will need to be replaced. There are many questions about dehumidifiers that do not start. Many times the reason they do not start can be found in a little switch know as the bucket full switch, water level switch, float switch and I’m sure many others names. The switches in what ever form they take area a safety type switch. Their function is to turn off the dehumidification unit if the bucket gets full and is about to run over. It also prevents the dehumidifier from running without the bucket seated properly in place. The problem is that these switches takes a lot of abuse when the bucket is removed and dumped many, many, times. The removal and reinsertion of the bucket can break or bend the switches. Float switches also are fragile and to not take being banged around also. If you have a dehumidifier that will not run, then check out the switch(es) at the bucket. If it is just a simple bucket full switch, you may be able to just hold it up by hand to see if the machine will start to work. If it still does not work, then the switch may need to be replaced. Float switches also can be manually tripped in some cases. Good luck!!
