My dehumidifier broke today and I was looking for a new one and how to set up the hose. Wasn’t sure if there was a specific setting I needed to activate or if it did it all on it own. Thanks for the video!
It took GE 14 pages to explain what you did in 7-1/2 minutes. And the stupidity started on the front cover on the manual. It says," Before you begin...Record the GE Module number and password for WiFi setup. To locate this information, see page 11." Page 11 doesn't have one word of module number or password #. I downloaded the GE appliance app and the first thing I was asked to sign in. Instead of a user name, it asked me to register my SSO. I have no idea what a SSO is. Page 11 had a web page that directed me to register for a chat room. I wanted ask what SSO meant. No matter what button I pushed I was asked for 24 pesos. All these complaints don't amount to a hill of beans. What counts is that the customer is happy. One complaint negates a dozen attaboys.
My dehumidifier just conked out, thanks your video I know which unit to get. Ty
I just purchased a used humidifier exactly like the one you showed the general electric and I'm wondering do you need a hose connected to it
Mine stopped working. Had the letter EI but no mention of it in the owners manual. Now it doesn’t work at all. What can be done?
I just ordered a new one for a very damp utility Room. Should I place it on a table up off the floor?
I had the same question. The answer is yes because gravity will pull the water down better. Just be careful because of the rollers.
Thank you very helpful!
glad it helped!
Yo did not wait 1 hour before plugging in after you turned it on it's side. You didn't show where to find the serial number, model number, and module number.
My tank still fills up even though the hose is attached. I don't get that. Is there a way to change drain settings?
Yeah same question
Hose should be facing down since it just drips down and end of hose can’t be sitting in water. GE website has a troubleshooting section. I’m going through the same thing right now so hoping it works.
Actually I realized that the hose fitting has to be cranked super tight to drain fitting inside of dehumidifier because the water was leaking out of the fitting and going right back into the dump tank. Like it had to be cranked super tight with a wrench, which is odd seeing that it not water under immense pressure or anything like that.
@@ryanmorley8211 is your pump draining through the hose? I haven't been able to get mine to do that yet.
All the LED display lights on mine stopped working.....but the unit itself still seems like it's working.
I too am a bit confused.
I’ve had it 3weeks in my storage room (288 sqft).
When I began the humidity read 70 on a separate meter.
I had it set up with the hose and had to empty the bucket although I installed the hose on the side. The hose was secure & hanging down properly. Not sure why the bucket was filling up for the first few days.
Question 1 : Does the bucket fill up and then the hose empties out the bucket or is the hose supposed to bypass the bucket so that the bucket stays dry?
Question 2: Now the level is 35% the bucket is dry and a little bit of water comes drips out the hose. So I’m not sure if the hose is doing the job or if it’s not working bec the level has now reached 35% and the unit is not drawing any more moisture.
Question 3: I now have it on Smart
Dry, will this turn itself on sleep mode or something so that the fan is not working constantly until the humidity goes up past 35%?
I just had the same thing happen. Connected the hose and was puzzled as the bucket was continuing to collect water as it was still spilling out the little hole on the side seen @3:34 in this video. Did you figure it out? Does a plug need to be inserted into that hole or something? Doesn't seem designed to receive a cap.
after you connected the hose there is a small hole to the right of it. I have the hose connected but water is pouring out of that hole and filling the bucket. I'm about to toss it out of the window!!
Mine is doing the same! Did you find a fix for it?
Maybe the end of your hose is in water. It should be just above water line.
@@kassandraharrison ended up being a clog in the actual hose. We disconnected it and stuck a wire hanger down it and a bunch of black gunk came out. Working great now.
@@grean17 I don't understand how connecting the hose is supposed to work. Because this model doesn't come with a pump feature, it says on the website that draining through a hose works through gravity. I attached a hose --- but it's not draining. From examining the tank, I don't understand how the water would reach the hose. Is yours draining automatically? At what point DOES it drain? Is it meant to wait until the bucket is full? - and if it does, does the drain the whole talk or just drain part way?
@@Lightsngear The hose is connected inside. Not sure the mechanics of it, but it's been draining automatically now. I have it set on Medium and 55%. IT's been great now that the hose is not clogged.
Does it completely shut off when it hits the set humidity level? I’ve been looking at several and the fans on them seems to run continuously and I’m looking for a model that shuts off when it hits the set level
Yes, this model shuts off, the fan doesn’t run continuously
@@efd Mine won't shut off when it reaches the humidity level
@@NA-tj8homine too, I’ve called GE & they just read back from the manual. They don’t have a tech they can ask. Then when I keep asking them to find out they say to just return it & get another one bec they don’t know how to answer the question.
Does it turn back on if the power goes out?
I'm still unclear how to set the humidity level..... my unit says it's 45, and the room is finally dry.... so what do I set it at,,, and once it shuts itself off, will it automatically turn back on by itself once it gets higher or lower??
I would leave it at 45 or 50. It will automatically turn on when the humidity goes above your set number.
I have a thin white hose in the back …. Can I take it out & just use the bucket
yes
Mine won't turn on after winter and it was brand new. Any tips on how can I turn it on?
Won’t turn on at all or the lights and numbers come up but the fan isn’t running?
Hi do you leave it on forever and it turns itself on and off or how does it work?
You can set the humidity level and it will turn on and off on its own.
I too am a bit confused.

Seems like a good purchase. Looking at one for my own house. So it did not come with a drain kit? You had to provide your own hose?
Yes, you need to supply your own hose. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a dehumidifier that came with one.
There's a model ABOVE this one which has a PUMP feature and comes with a hose.
I just bought one. My home is over 100 years old with the sand stone basement walls. It gets very damp, musty and moldy . Basically it "Stinks" I cant store anything down there with out everything getting a musty smell. I'm hoping this will work for me.
it should, just make sure you empty the water out of the unit or connect the hose to it so it drains to a sump.
@@efd the dehumidifier is performing wonderfully. It is drawing out all of the moister from my basement. No more musty damp order. I do need to get the hose for drainage. I needs to be emptied twice a day. Sometimes three.
@@bargeld09 If you have a sump pump nearby, then I would definitely hook up a hose from the dehumidifier to the pit.
Why doesn’t my filter have much lint on it when light is indicating change filter
The filter change is timed, it doesn’t actually know if your filter is dirty or not
Anyone know how to make it work without remove the try
I turned it off after I saw him turn the unit on it’s side and plug it in your supposed for at least 24 hours if it’s been layed on side and the bucket has a float that turns off machine when full the sight window has nothing to do with the function
What to do when it says empty but the buckets full of water ?
Sounds like the float is stuck, then you empty the water, there is a plastic piece on a rod that should float on the water and hit the full switch
@@goldtau4628 designed that way, it helps it float
that means EMPTY the bucket now.
I bought a 50 pint today it had no instructions and it’s not pumping
So far mine isn’t working either 35 pint. Did yours start working?
My GE model isn't draining through the drainage hose. It is going down all the way into the sump pump. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
If you take the house off, is there anything in the hole?
I have the same problem. Tried brand new hoses so it's not the hose. Did anyone figure out what was happening?
@@Henderson711 I've got the same, seems like it is still coming out of the hole shown @3:34. Seems like that needs plugged so it all goes through the hose. Did you figure it out?
@@DoingCoolStufnever figured it out. It was draining through the hose for about a month after I tightened the heck out of it. Then one day it stopped again. I think I'm just gonna get a different one cause I'm tired of messing with it.
@@Henderson711 I think i figured it out. The bottom of the inside diameter of the hose is around the same height as the other drain hole that drains into the bucket. I plugged the bucket drain hole and it all drains out the hose now.
How do you get the f-ing cord out of the back of this thing? It's plugged into itself and won't come out. No instructions on it or videos!!!😢

I have this same dehumidifier and it just shit the bed after a year of (seasonal) use.
Ofcourse it was a 2021 Christmas gift so it never even got use in until Summer 2022(in NY), and now its dead.
I'm sure they wont honor the 1-year warranty 😂
Mine quit in less then a year. All lights just flash when plugged up... GE making garbage these days...
Same problem here.
Same problem.
