Dehumidifier water damaged?

33 Posts

Hi,
Being the really clumsy sod I am, I knocked over our dehumidifier last night. It wasn't running but the water tank was quite full. The tank is located on the front and I knocked it over backwards. The insides were wet and water was all over the floor.
I cleaned up the floor last night and left the machine to sit overnight. This morning I've done some tilting and a decent amount of water poured out from the machine, with the now empty tank already inserted.
If I leave the machine for a few days, can I try switching it on? Or is this too dangerous? I hate the idea of buying a brand new machine if this can be saved.
Thank you.

In particular people say things like 'I have to say Inventor's after care customer service is beyond impressive, they are there to help, answer your messages in a flash and go above and beyond to ensure the customer goes away happy.'
So I would call their after care customer service
Dismantling it has come to mind, but most of it clicks into each other so I think that'll be a pain to overcome.
Another dehumidifier is a good shout, but I do not know anyone who has one.
Right now it's in my bedroom drying out. I might put it in the airing cupboard to help it along a little bit. Its probably the warmest place we have.
Thank you for all the replies. Hopefully it'll work after this. Such a silly thing to do in the first place 🤦♂️
Thank you for all the help. I now know not to leave it filled with water.
