ABSTRACT:
A dehumidifier is provided comprising a removable low profile receptacle for accumulating condensate generated by the dehumidifier, the receptacle defining a chamber for collecting the condensate and at least one opening for allowing condensate to enter the chamber. The receptacle further includes an integral pivoting bar for allowing the receptacle to pivot from a first position to a second position in response to an accumulation of a predetermined amount of condensate. A biased-open shutoff switch for operation of the dehumidifier components is also provided for actuation by upward movement of a portion of a perimeter edge of the receptacle. The perimeter edge portion of the receptacle contacts and closes the shutoff switch when the receptacle is located within the dehumidifier and the chamber is not filled with the predetermined amount of condensate.
