What to Check First
- 1. Turn off the dehumidifier and carefully remove the water bucket.
- 2. Locate the float inside the water bucket.
- 3. Gently shake the water bucket up and down to check if the float moves freely.
- 4. Once the float is unstuck, reinstall the water bucket into the dehumidifier.
- 5. Turn the power back on and check if the " Bucket Full " light has turned off.
- Normal Position: The float should rest at the bottom when the bucket is empty.
- Stuck Position: The float is stuck at the top, causing the [Bucket Full] light to stay on.
- If your LG dehumidifier's "Bucket Full" light does not turn off even after you have emptied the water bucket, the float inside the bucket is likely stuck. Gently shaking the water tank to free the sensor usually resolves this issue.
- The location and appearance of the float may vary depending on your specific LG dehumidifier model.
- Do not open the float cover. Doing so may interfere with the float that detects when the bucket is full.
