I had the problem. Tried leveling and really was not consistent; some water went to bucket and the cut the unit off when full. I plugged the outlet going into the bucket. Probably not the perfect situation; I suppose the hose could stop and back up into the unit; goes to a condensate pump Dunno. But it is in an area where spillage isnt a grat big deal and I try to see it daily.

I had this problem and the solution proved to be quite simple. The dehumidifier was not level. It seems that mine was designed to drain through the hose fitting and into the bucket. If I put a hose on it, then it drain through that. Very simple.
BUT, there is a backup, so that if the initial drain get blocked for some reason, the water will flow through the backup and into the bucket.
This works fine UNLESS (and this happend to me) my floor is not level. So the dehumidifier was not level and the water went through the backup and directly into the bucket. I made sure the unit was level (or even tilted a little the other direction) and Voila! problem solved.
You may have other problems, but this is one of the basics to check.
