I’m sorry to hear that your Whirlpool dehumidifier is spitting water. This is not a normal operation and can be caused by a few different issues. The most common cause is a clogged condensate drain line or a blocked air filter. Other causes could include a malfunctioning fan motor, a faulty humidistat, or a faulty control board. I will provide some tips and advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
Why Is My Whirlpool Dehumidifier Spitting out water
This is likely due to a clogged or blocked drain hose or drain line. Check the hose and make sure it is not kinked or blocked in any way. If it is, then clean or replace the hose. If the hose is clear, then the drain line may be blocked. Try running a wet/dry vacuum through the drain line to clear any blockage. If the issue persists, contact a service technician for further assistance.
Why Is My Whirlpool Dehumidifier Spitting water
1. Check the water bucket to make sure it is not full. If it is, empty it and make sure it is properly seated in the dehumidifier.
2. Check the air filter to make sure it is clean and not clogged.
3. Check the drain hose to make sure it is not clogged or kinked.
4. Check the condensate pump to make sure it is working properly.
5. Check the humidity setting to make sure it is not set too high.
6. Check the temperature setting to make sure it is not set too low.
7. Check the fan motor to make sure it is working properly.
8. Check the air intake and exhaust vents to make sure they are not blocked.
9. Check the evaporator coil to make sure it is not frozen.
The most likely cause of your Whirlpool dehumidifier spitting out water is that the condensate drain is blocked or clogged. This can be caused by a dirty filter, a kinked hose, or a build up of lint or debris in the drain. Cleaning or replacing the filter, unkinking the hose, and cleaning the drain should resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it may indicate a more serious issue with the dehumidifier and you should contact a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.
