Abstract: A dehumidifier may include a main body, a heat exchange unit inside the main body, and a water tank on the water tank chamber or separated from the water tank chamber through a side surface of the main body. The water tank may store condensed water generated in the heat exchange unit. A movable member may be inside the water tank to vertically move according to a water level of the condensed water stored in the water tank. One or plurality of first sensors mounted on a wall defining the water tank chamber may detect the movable member. A second sensor mounted on a position of the wall, which is higher than the first sensors may detect the movable member. A control unit may receive the detected results of the first and second sensors to control an operation of the heat exchange unit or an occurrence of an alarm signal according to the received results.

Abstract translation: 除湿机可以包括主体，主体内部的热交换单元和水箱室上的水箱，或者通过主体的侧面与水箱室分离。 水箱可以存储在热交换单元中产生的冷凝水。 可移动构件可以在水箱内部，以便根据存储在水箱中的冷凝水的水位垂直移动。 安装在限定水箱室的壁上的一个或多个第一传感器可以检测可移动部件。 安装在比第一传感器高的壁的位置上的第二传感器可以检测可移动部件。 控制单元可以接收第一和第二传感器的检测结果，以根据接收的结果控制热交换单元的操作或报警信号的发生。
