I think I had the same problem as you. Mine worked completely fine for quite some time. The light for the bucket being full, or out wouldn't come on, and it didn't seem to react to anything I did. I took it apart and unplugged the adjustment knob, and it worked. Just need to put a new one in (part 6601a30006a) or it will just continue to run as if the humidity is always too high for the setting.
I'd be the first to tell everyone, I got lucky repairing my machine! Everything I have read about the GHD30 has not been all that great, but the one thing I believe is primary of importance is cleaning the filter, and cleaning the inside at a minimum of once a month, or sooner. If the filter is clogged the machine suffocates itself. Furthermore since the product is made of plastic be very careful on removing different plastic parts. As they age they become brittle and break very easy! The discovery of the float part being cracked in my case was a stroke of luck. When you clean the machine check all these moving plastic parts, some of the problems could be related. I hope this helps someone, everyone can use a little help in this tough economy!I'd be the first to tell everyone, I got lucky repairing my machine!

Mine did the same thing, I just clipped one of the wires to the rotary knob and it runs fine, but will run non-stop. I've orderd the part you referenced above - only $7.50Mine did the same thing, I just clipped one of the wires to the rotary knob and it runs fine, but will run non-stop.
