Your two year comment is spot on. My Friedrich 50 pint was purchased June 2020 and now in July 2022 it’s running and the bucket is empty even though it’s super humid. Friedrich was a name associated with high quality but it seems their management closed their American manufacturing plant several years back and moved it to China ..and now their name and quality mean nothing. It’s such a shame too because the unit is stylish looking, filter design terrific and control panel so easy to use but what good is all that when the interior components are garbage.

After a few years of use, our DB501A is leaking water on the floor, with NO water in the bucket. So it seems to be condensing water out of the basement, but NOT dripping it down into the bucket I suspect a clog someplace in the very simple internal plumbing but troubleshooting it requires getting the front panel off. A quick Google did not produce a service manual or any videos on how to disassemble. I guess I'll have to figure it out myself.

@@vkristof1 let me know how you make out. My unit had a faulty compressor and it was replaced under warranty after a $50 “diagnostic fee” By the authorized Friedrich service center. The service technician told me the failure rates of these dehumidifiers are “very common” within the first few years of service. It’s really disgusting how consumers are getting ripped off by these cheap Chinese made products that we are paying top dollar for.

@@MrScottie68It turned out that a plastic nipple had sheared off from the bottom of the condensate catch patch. The nipple was molded into the catch pan and connects to the condensate pump plumbing. So any condensate that dropped in the catch pan ran out the hole and eventually onto the floor. The nipple hole is the lowest pointt in the pan, the hole to the removable bucket is higher. The serial number ends in 2018, so I assume we bought it 6 years ago.

I’m experiencing a leak from the bottom while the bucket is not even full. I just bought it too.

For my folks, it has to not work at all before replacing it
