  Jamie ClarkAug 1, 2025
  If your Perfect Aire Dehumidifier isn't collecting water, consider the following: * Ensure the unit's size is appropriate for the room. * Allow sufficient time for the unit to remove moisture. * Lower the humidity setting to encourage moisture removal. The setting might be at the same level as the current humidity in the room. * Close all doors and windows securely. * Make sure the unit is level with good air circulation around it and between it and the floor. * Ensure nothing is blocking the unit, such as curtains or furniture. * Verify the room temperature is above 41º F. * Relocate the unit if it's near a heat source. * Clean the air filter and outlet.

  If the 'bucket full' light is illuminated on your Perfect Aire Dehumidifier even when the bucket is empty, there are several things to check: * Ensure the drain plug is properly inserted if you're using the bucket to collect water. * Inspect the float switch (the small tab located inside the unit behind the bucket) for any damage or obstructions. * Make sure the unit is level and that the filter, vents, and bucket are clean. * Verify the float is correctly snapped into place inside the bucket. * Try unplugging the unit for at least 5 minutes, then plug it back in, re-secure the bucket, and turn the unit on.
