How Does Drain Hose Work On Dehumidifier

I understand that you want to know how the drain hose works for your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FDF70S1.

For Continuous Drainage:

a. For constant drainage operation, you will need a garden hose and a drain nearby to discharge the water into.

b. Remove the bucket from your dehumidifier and set it aside.

c. Lift up the side flap located on the left side of your appliance as looking from the front.

d. Insert the female threaded end of the hose through the opening.

e. Screw the garden hose onto the threaded portion of the tray underneath the bucket opening.

f. Make sure the hose is secure so there are not leaks.

g. Direct the hose toward the drain making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water flowing.

h. Place the end of the hose into the drain.

i. Place the bucket back into your dehumidifier and make sure that it is located correctly.

j. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on your appliance for continuous draining to start.

NOTE: If your dehumidifier stops operating check to see if the bucket full light is illuminated. If it is remove the bucket and empty the contents and then check the seal between the hose and the drip tray. If there is a small leak, then replace the hose gasket and re-tighten the hose. Hope this is helpful.
