Why is the internal water tank of the Uhome UDL5-30P dehumidifier filling up when the external drain hose is attached and sloped downhill?

If the internal water tank of your Uhome UDL5-30P dehumidifier is filling up even when the continuous drain hose is attached and sloped downhill, there are a few common reasons for this issue: Drain Hose Clogged or Kinked: Even if the hose has moisture in it, there might be a blockage or a kink further along the hose that is preventing proper water flow. Check the entire length of the hose for any obstructions or bends. Improper Connection: Ensure the drain hose is securely and correctly attached to the continuous drainage port on the back of the unit. A loose connection can cause water to back up into the tank. Insufficient Downward Slope: While you mentioned it's "all downhill," sometimes the slope might not be steep enough for gravity to effectively drain all the water, especially if the hose is very long or has minor dips. The manual specifies ensuring the hose is "sloped downwards to allow water to drain by gravity into a suitable floor drain or larger container." Drainage Port Blockage: The continuous drainage port itself on the dehumidifier might be partially or fully blocked. Inspect the port for any debris or buildup. Air Lock in Hose: In some cases, an air lock can prevent water from flowing. Try detaching and reattaching the hose, ensuring no air pockets are trapped. To troubleshoot, first, detach the hose and check for any blockages. Then, reattach it, making sure it's firmly connected and has a clear, consistent downward slope to your drain. If the problem persists, you may want to contact Uhome Customer Support for further assistance.
