ABSTRACT:
The invention is a dehumidifier comprising an adjustable float with a variable height cam surface that is in contact with the actuator of an interlock switch, which controls the supply of power to the refrigeration system of the dehumidifier. The float is rotatably mounted to the collection bucket of the dehumidifier and rotates as the bucket fills with liquid. At a sufficient amount of rotation, the cam surface will no longer be in contact with the actuator of the interlock switch, resulting in the removal of power from the refrigeration system. The float can be laterally adjusted so that a variable height cam surface is aligned with the actuator of the interlock switch to permit the user to vary the liquid level at which the interlock switch is activated to cut off power to the refrigeration system.
