check the adjustment of the humidity control. it is also called the enthalpy control. check the level switch in the water bin.

I thnk your tank is askew. Adjust the osition of the tank until the light goes off ...

sounds like you may have a rusted evaporator coil and that has caused a freon leak.
it is very common on newer units as they are not made as well as they used to be.
when the coil rusts, it will cause the freon copper lines to leak the freon out and then without enough freon it will usually freeze over a few coils and eventually not take any water out of the air.
i would check to see if yours has an extended warranty and then contact the manufacturer to see if they can fix or replace the unit.

Connect the correct size tubing to the 90 degree drain on the left side of the unit(above water tray) and knock out plastic cutout on the rear of dehumidifier. Feed into drain.

Had the same problem. Make sure you tighten the house a little with pliers. Also, make sure the dehumidifier is up a lot higher than where you're draining it into. Mine drains into a utility sink. But I have the dehumidifier propped up onto a dresser. I cut a small piece of hose to run into the sink. Seems to be working now.

It will take 5 min or so to establish a water flow, so be patient after you hook everything up. Good luck.

You can get this with google.

Otherwise ask manualfox.com - this is the hazzle-less way to get it.

I have one that I just moved to my garage to junk out. My bucket and float is next to new. Email me at [email protected] to hook up.

First check the coils to see if they are clean. Then check the fan and compressor . They should be running and warm to the touch. If you see ice on one of the coils, there is a good chance some gas has leaked out.If everything looks and feels good, you may have to take it to a repair shop to fix the leak and recharge it. Let the shop tell if it is worth fixing. Don't just throw it away. Be green!
Good Luck!

You will need to put an amp meter on the compressor wires and monitor the reading till it trips the breaker. If the reading exceeds the name plate spec then chances are the compressor is going bad.If the spec is in watts, take your amp reading and multiply it by 120 volts this will give you the wattage of the compressor. For a second opinion take it to repairshop to see if it is worth repairing.
Good Luck!

First thing is check your coils to see if they are clean. Then check the fan and compressor. If they are on ,they should be warm to the touch. If you have ice on the coil, you have a low charge. If not then you lost all of your charge. Don't throw it way. Take it to a repair shop to fix the leak and charge it back up. It will be like new!
Good Luck!

My brand new frigidaire 50 liter dehumidifier has been on for two days and has not collected water from my damp basement. It is on the factory settings: high fan and "CO" (continuous).

If the compressor is warm and running, chances are the charge is gone. There is no low pressure switch to shut off the humidifier. Don,t throw the unit out, take it to a repair shop to have it charged and fix the leak.
Good Luck!

If the coil is clean, then have a tech check for a low charge. This will cause the coil to freeze up. Humidifers are known to lose gas and owners aren't told this so end up buying new one and scraping the old one. Trust me on this. I have seen this many times. I repair high end machinery as my business.

Was there any instructions with the control board? I'm assuming we are talking about a heat pump control board or defrost board.
Some have time or temperature settings on the board that needs set. There's a lot of different boards out there, some have jumper pins and some have dip switches, you almost need either the unit installation instructions or the instructions that should have came with the board. Not sure if this will help you but if it doesn't you may need to contact a dealer or the company that made this unit.

call 1-866-629-8241. they are no longer honoring the warranty, because the maker, fedders, went bankrupt. they will send you a prorated check. we had two months to go on ours and they sent us a check for $14 and change. you must have documentation.

Not sure what you are calling the "collector". Most of the time, problems like this are caused by a build up of gunk at the point where the water, which has condensed and dripped down into a tray, leave the try and is suppose to go either into the water bucket or out the drain hose if that is attached. Because this area gets plugged up, the water has to go some where else, which results in leakage over the side of aforementioned tray.
The best solution is to remove all the covers to get to this drain area and clean it out, but that is a pain to do. I'd suggest trying to run a pipe cleaner or nylon wire tie back up into the area where the water is suppose to leave the dehumidifier on it's way to the bucket or hose. Flushing some water back that way with a turkey baster might work also, but would result in some splashing, causing a little additional temporary leakage.
