With most portable dehumidifiers use a bucket to catch the condensate. Then the bucket is full the dehumidifier stops, then you need to empty it and replace the bucket to get the dehumidifier to start working again.

To make this unit run continually, the bucket can be modified so a garden hose can be attached and the hose can be feed into a floor drain. To do this look at the bottom of the bucket, there should be a hose connector where you can attach a standard garden hose. You will need to drill out the center of the hose connector with a 1/4" drill bit. Then you can attach the hose to the bucket and the other end into the floor drain.

Don't see anywhere to hook up hose to the bucket? So that it will continously drain. Model HDN655E-rb
The drain plug should be on the rear of the unit about 1/2 way up the back of the unit. It has a screw off cap and rubber plug. Keep these & don't lose them. You will need them, whenever you stop using the hose drain. Most folks put them in the water bucket for safe keeping.

The garden hose can not exceed 48" in length and slope down and straight to the floor drain. Drainage relies entirely on gravity.

Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

I have an LG energy star auto start dehumidifier (about 3 years old). It works fine. How can I hook it up to drain into my laundry sink automatically? It would save me the effort of emptying the bucket...
Unfortunately, draining into a laundry sink is not an option. As your model does not have a pump, it relies entirely on gravity to drain with a 48" length of garden hose. A floor drain is the perfect way to go, if you have one.

To further assist you, I have included a llnk to your model, which has been discontinued. You can download and print the manual for future reference if you like.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Can I hook this up so itd empies directly into the floor drain?
yes, there should be a bucket that fills with water, on the outside of the bucket, there should be a cap you can screw off, once off you can attach a garden hose to that bucket and the other end goes in the drain.

Both drain hole are blocked & the water is
Remove the cabinet: take out bucket and remove all visible screws; sometimes the plastic cabinet parts also snap together or the top actually has plastic hooks that engage so it has to be slid front or back 1/2" - just be very careful after you remove all screws to determine what is still holding it together BEFORE applying any force.

Once the cabinet is off, the coils are exposed in the front, and the drain pan is under then. Be careful to not damage the coils or bend them. Flush/blow into drain tube or snake with flexible wire to open then, clean out all sludge and lint, and check to make sure drains still open, then reassemble.

Need manual for fedder dehumidifer to hook up drain hose. need to know were drain hose connects.
Pull out the water collection tray. You will see a small pipe (about 1/2" diameter) in the top of the area where the tray came from. This is the "drain" that fills the tray. Connect a hose to this pipe and run the hose to a floor drain if you have one. I used a section from an old garden hose for my unit. There also may be a small opening in the back wall of the dehumidifier to route the hose more aesthetically.
