At any setting, the fan in my Haier HDN455 dehumidifier runs constantly but no water collects in the pan or drains when the hose is connected. An oily substance is collecting around the hose fitting and has dripped onto a piece of cardboard I placed underneath the unit (in an effort to determine whether it was water or oil). I have cleaned the parts I can reach. The unit is just a year old

Presence of oil indicates a leak in the pipework somewhere. not worth repair
