What Pump + Bucket Full indicators flashing means

On Frigidaire pump dehumidifiers in the FFAP5034W1 family, the Pump and Bucket Full lights flash together after you press the Pump button when the pump drain hose in the bucket is not installed correctly. The unit has tried to pump and cannot find the hose in position. Re-seating the hose usually clears the message, and the unit then resumes pumping.

Common causes of Pump + Bucket Full indicators flashing

  • The pump drain hose is not seated correctly in the bucket
  • The bucket is not fully in place
  • A kink or blockage in the hose
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Unplug the unit and slide the bucket out. 2. Re-seat the pump drain hose in the bucket so it sits fully in place. 3. Slide the bucket back in until it is seated. 4. Plug the unit in, press Pump again, and call us if the lights keep flashing.

! Why to stop there
  • If the hose is seated and the lights keep flashing, the sensing parts or the pump may need testing.
  • We check the hose and the bucket seating before looking at electronics.
  • Written pricing comes before any repair.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Pump + Bucket Full indicators flashingPump + Bucket Full indicators flashing questions
Why are the Pump and Bucket Full lights flashing together?

The unit is telling you the pump drain hose in the bucket is not installed properly after you pressed Pump. Re-seat the hose and try again.

Is this a broken pump?

Usually not. A hose that is not seated all the way is the common cause. If the lights keep flashing with the hose in place, the pump or its sensor may need testing.

Do I need to empty the bucket first?

Yes, it helps. Unplug the unit, empty the bucket, re-seat the hose and slide the bucket back in fully before pressing Pump again. This clears the usual cause.
