Does not shut off when tank full, water leaks all over the floor if I don't watch it constantly
I have a WindChaser Dehumidifier, Model: WDH-928. The problem is that it does not shut off when it is full nor does the tank full indicator light go on. I cannot contact the company, they seem to have gone out of business? The unit also does not shut off when I take out the tank to empty it. Otherwise it is all working. I had a etch come a couple of years ago and he could not figure out what to do, I think he jerryrigged something with a string but it did not help, only worked for a couple of weeks.

Sounds like the float valve inside tank may be stuck in closed position. Calcium buildup is very common. Good luck Juliana. Unplug and empty tank of any water and look for the float valve it should be near top of tank. Use a small bucket and mix vinegar and water and brush. Scrub that valve. Clean it up
Try looking under valve to see if pin goes in & out. under valve.
