Customer Questions and Answers for Float (Dehumidifier Bucket) by Ge

This dehumidifier bucket float monitors the water level in the collection bucket. As the bucket fills, the float rises to trip the bucket-full switch, shutting the unit off to help prevent leaks and overflow.

• Senses bucket water level and mechanically engages the bucket-full safety switch
• Helps stop operation before overflow to protect floors and nearby surfaces
• Replaces a missing, stuck, cracked, or waterlogged float
• Common symptoms: constant "bucket full" message with an empty bucket, unit won't run, or unit doesn't shut off and overfills

• Unplug the dehumidifier and remove the water bucket
• Locate the float channel/arm in the bucket and orient the float correctly before seating it fully
• Ensure the float moves freely and engages the bucket switch lever
• Reinstall the bucket and test by gently lifting the float to confirm shutoff
