Thanks for the video. Saved me a lot of time and frustration.
*This humidifier works great **Fastly.Cool** to keep our crawlspace at the proper level of humidity. It was an excellent price and shipped so fast we were amazed!*
Thank you so much! I've tried more than once to take this apart but after taking the screws out it didn't seem to want to come apart -- it was those two side screws, hidden quite well! Anyway, mine has run constantly for more than 10 years in a dirty and leaky basement, while undergoing demolition and refinishing -- lots of drywall dust, etc. and the inside was SO filthy! Good unit -- I'm amazed at its dependability.
Thanks for giving my nanas Hisense an extra lease on life. Back connection broke from age, Heloed in getting the back off and getting they piece replaced at least.
You are the man! I called Hisense and gave them specific details of my problem and they had to go talk to someone else! They told me to just hold power button for 30 seconds to reset unit. Their customer service is a joke. Found your video here and took me less than 2 hours to have it back into my crawl space and working just fine! Thanks for posting your videos on how to do this!
Vance Stover, thanks For the kind words. I’m glad you are back up and running!
Such a staightforward help. Got my pump running again exactly as described! Thank you.
Thanks for making and putting up the video. Wasn’t sure how to access the inside without breaking any of the plastic covers. Much appreciated!
Thanks so much for all the videos. Ours lasted 4 or 5 years before we started having the same problem with it. We now can fix it and not have to get a new one. Much appreciate these tutorials. Husband wanted the owners guide and i couldn't find it so google searched and you saved my butt.
Rowena Fox, so glad to help you guys out. These are the comments that I like to receive!
Absolutely spot on fix! Thank you! The manufacturer has provided great customer service (replacing two units), but this is exactly the solution we needed. Hopefully the manufacturer puts a higher quality filter on the air intake vents on their next model design.
Matt Klinker, thanks for the great comments!
Just finished LoRollinizing my Hisense 70 pint dehumidifier today....couldn't have done it without your fine videos! I was about ready to just replace it with a new one due to the "empty bucket" problem every few weeks. Wouldn't be so bad except the unit is located in my dark, dirty, mouse and black widow occupied crawlspace. Yup, found a bunch of mud in the screen. Thanks to you and the University of UA-cam, she's back in business putting out between 1 and 2 gallons a day, keeping the crawl at around 50-60% humidity (have it set at 50%). First year had no problems at all except one "clean filter" stoppage. I added some thin AC foam filtering from Frost King today also.
Dan J, LoRollinizing! Hahaha That’s awesome man, I will have to definitely use that! I’m glad you dug into it and fixed the problem. It really isn’t that difficult to do. Kudos and good luck 👍!!!
Appreciate the help!! Same issue on all my dehumidifiers. This fixed all 3, great idea on the additional external filters
It's been 10 months since I cleaned it out the first time. Filled with goo again! It's a lot easier just to take the electrical cover off again to get to the float tank lid and then to the screen and clean everything out. Took about 15 minutes to disassemble, clean, and reassemble.
Thank you so much for your video. I took it apart just as you showed. It was tough getting around all the wires. But I did it. I also attached a hose for continual draining. I was able to clean it and put it back together only to forget to reinstall the screen. So tomorrow I will take it apart again. At least I will know how to do it.
Same unit. Mine was leaking while putting water into water tank. Your tear down helped me troubleshoot. So for some unknown reason the drip port started drip water down the side of the wall instead of straight down into hopper, so it will drip into hopper and drain down the wall to the bottom of the unit and out the front under the tank. No change in location, only thing done was to dump water.
Thanks for posting. I have the 100 pint Hisense Dehumidifier. Going try your method.
You are indeed the man. I had a different model with the same issue. It was actually harder to take apart. I had to remove everything. But it was the same issue where there was a bunch of crap stuck in the smaller water well that feeds the pump. I am going to order some filters and tape them on the side
Alex Berkson, thanks man! Awesome, glad this helped you!!!
This was brilliant! Thank you. Just cleaned a completely clogged filter screen.
This is very helpful. Thank you!
I have this model too and had to break it down to clean. Your video helped a ton, thanks for putting it up.
I can't believe that they buried a reservoir that needs cleaning so deep in the machine. Really bad design.
Got the exact info I needed. Thanks.
OH MAN!!! Thank you SO MUCH!
My 7 year old unit is still working fine thru these humid Tennessee summers but the male connector broke off in the female coupler of the drain tube.
It's a $25 fix but I can't get the freaking back off!
Did you know that dehumidifiers are too small a fix for 'small appliance repair' shops to fix?🙄
Wish me luck, I'm going to try this in the morning!
Miss Joyce
thank you for sharing this helpful video.
Great video and very helpful!

Bottom 2 side screws location did the trick. Thanks for your time.
Thanks--helpful for disassembly of 2015 GE
Mine doesn't have the pump, so the small tank was very clean, after 3 years. But thanks for the video, I didn't see those bottom screws.
Good video. Thanks
Nice job and thanks for video, you saved me time and $$. Very bad decision on the part of the manufacturer to not make that pump more accessible to avg home owner to clean out. Simple solution, pain the arse to get to it so you can clean it out. It would save them a ton on $$ on needless warranty claims since most home owners these days can’t turn a wrench much less disassemble a dehumidifier.
Thank yo so much for this video
thanks for the video I was about to break the back off cause I didn't see those two dam screws lol
SAME!
I'm so glad to find this. Trying to replace the drain coupler in the morning!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Great video, YOU RULE! My mom has one of these and said it didn't work, water gets all over the floor. No wonder due to all of the gunk inside that white box, filter and float control tube thingy. Gross. Since I am cleaning it how do you take the front off? Looking thru the side filter vents with a flashlight it is pretty nasty in there too and needs to be cleaned. Thank you again!
Thanks for the video. Mine drains down into a drain. I think ill just drill a hole in the front bucket with a drain tube, and skip the cleaning of the pump. Mine is having the same issues. Thoughts?
I held the power button down to reset it like someone in the comments mentioned and it solved my issue. That and cleaning the filter. So will be using this if necessary but will also be calling Hisense. Mine is a year old and for the money they wanted they can back their product. Sick of this.
An easier way to deal with this is to buy a condensate pump and have a short piece of garden hose going to it and then you shouldn’t have this issue anymore
But, my fix was free!
Is there a way to remove the white front cover in order to clean the coils?
Great video! Once you open that little float tank with the filter, do you think it would help to spray some kind of bleach mixture in there to kill any mold growing in the tank, on the filter or in the lines?
I think it would definitely help to run some bleach through the machine. It couldn’t hurt to spray a fine mist on the filters maybe to kill any mold and make the air smell a bit cleaner. Good ideas!
Im going to try the same with my GE that alarms bucket full after running for 2 mins. Hopefully it works
good luck my friend!
So I just got a dehumidifier and the temperature in my house is 68f and 35% humid. I have emptied my bucket 2 times a day and there are little black/brown specs all over in the bucket. Everyone has said it’s to be dirt but I cannot find anything on Google
We use the bucket and empty it every other day. I cannot figure out how to open the bucket and clean it out. It gets very slimy inside. I have lifted the 3 snap closures but something else is still catching near the handle area. What am I missing?
Not sure, I’ve never cleaned out the bucket that way. I just pour some bleach in and let it sit. Then pour it out.
I have a Whynter 70 pint elite with the pump. When that pump kicks on, it makes a loud noise. Yours a Hisense. So I'm kinda screwed on that deal. Different units different parts!
smurfitude1, they should be relatively similar on the inside though. As long as she’s still pumping good I wouldn’t worry about the noise so much as they are all kinda noisy.
Just wondering when you cleaned that did your dehumidifier work because I have the same exact one and my stopped putting water in the bucket 🪣
Yes, it worked. I’ve had to do it multiple times.
I have a similar model to this that I accidentally plugged into 240v, not sure if there is just a blown fuse or if it's something much worse.
Wow 🤩, haha! It could have blown a fuse for sure. Sorry to hear that but it was kinda funny. Not going to lie lol.
Please let me know if anyone can help or if they have the same problem
I have a garrison version of this it’s such a piece of garbage. Takes a good day before any water starts dripping out of the hose. Mine is a 50pint version with direct drain/bucket fill it has no condensate pump. The coil is pretty clean and I have had it apart to clean it regardless. I have a mastercraft dehumidifier from 1989 that works amazing compared to the garrison/hisense it does the majority of the work in my basement apartment
Ardie McLelland, yeah man, it’s amazing how cheaply and poorly these things are made
I’ve got a couple vids up of some real units. :p even added hepa filters like you.
Is this a water filter? I have the DH7019K1G. It has stopped moving the water to my condensation pump. The tank of the dehumidifier is filling up.
Yes, it is a filter screen of sorts and does clog up easily if the air is very dirty like in a unfinished basement.
Needed this vid to get the lid off...shoulda figured there were screws on the bottom. Been using mine in my home for 3 years and no where near the grime you have.
pdizzlemac, yeah there’s always gotta be something like that to bust your chops! I don’t doubt that, I was using mine in an unfinished basement garage with no central a/c to cycle the air, so this was doing it, lol.
How does the front come off to inspect the evaporator?
John Hoover , If you look at the unit carefully you will notice that there is no front cover per se. The front and bottom are basically the frame for all of the components inside. Therefore, you will most likely have to disassemble the entire unit.
This video was a big help. Do you still have the dehumidifier? I still have this model and it works well, but does not see everyday use like yours did.
Thanks! Yep still have it and still use it off and on. Still running like a champ.
I am trying to open a DeLonghi to get it cleaned out. I cannot get that thing opened. The bottom comes apart but the top doesn't cooperate. Have you worked with DeLonghi before?
Bonnie Carmichael, no I have not. Keep searching UA-cam, there might be a video for that specific model.
@@lorollinls there isn't. Its as if they don't want you to repair your own product. I had a customer service rep tell me I had no authority to take it apart and look at it.
I'm sorry--he said You are unqualified.
How do I get the white part out of the top of the bucket.
Loosen the jam but and slide it back toward the open end. Then it should pull out.
@@lorollinls the jam.
The jam? Can you do a quick video
3rd Update, well thanks! Instant success as soon as I plugged in the pump kicked in and water is flowing up through the water line! BTW My model is Garrison 70 pints/ 33 litre from Canadian Tire Canada!
Ok this ROCKS...thanks for the info I'm going to fix my pump in my Garrison Dehumidifier!
2nd Update.. I'm ripping into mine as I type... Nasty dirty!
I like your diy filters! How do I do that?!
Buy a washable a/c filter from Lowe’s, cut to fit and duct tape it on!!! 😎
My hisense wont even come on
You never removed the other cover (the white one), so this is only a partial disassembly.
20thcentlimited, you might want to look a bit closer. There’s no other cover, the chassis and front are pretty much one piece.
@@lorollinls So, what you're saying is the evaporator coils and condenser coils are accessed from the side you opened? Just seems strange.
I guess , cleaning filters frequently would spare this issue.
Please stabilizes your camera next time when shooting a video (use a tripod). Too much movement and too hard to watch. Thanks.
Michael Liang, “stabilizes”? I’ll be sure to tell my professional camera crew to “stabilizes” their camera the next time we make a film.
