APER70LW
GE APER70LW Dehumidifier with Built-In Pump Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Pump not moving water
- Hose kinked or blocked on the discharge side
- Not collecting water
- Coil icing
- Controls not responding
The GE APER70LW is listed as a GE dehumidifier with a built-in pump, a 17.5-pint bucket, and electronic controls. It is 14 3/4 inches wide with an integrated energy factor of 2. A built-in pump is useful in basements where the unit sits below the drain, since it can push water up a hose instead of relying on the bucket.
We service the pump along with the standard dehumidifier checks. That means the pump motor, its float or sensing, the discharge hose and its fittings, and the check valve if present. Then we go through the filter, coil, fan, humidity sensor, and compressor. A pump that hums but moves no water points to a clog or a worn pump, while one that stays silent leads us to the float and the wiring.
We confirm the model and serial from the label before we order. You receive a written price in advance, and our repair is covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
Why does my APER70LW fill its bucket instead of pumping?
The pump may be turned off in the control, the float may be stuck, or the hose may be blocked. We test the pump and its path before suggesting a part.
How big is the bucket?
The bucket is 17.5 pints, so it fills more slowly than smaller units. If it still overflows, we check the pump, the float, and the discharge path.
Can the pump be replaced separately?
Often yes, once the pump is tested and confirmed as the cause. We give a written price before ordering the pump, and we check the hose and float so the new pump is not blocked again.
