20 Most Recent Maytag M7DH65B2A Dehumidifier - Page 9 Questions & Answers

One place to find it is appliancefactory.com. The fitting is a male hose thread, so if you took a hose, it could just be threaded in. Take a look at the above mentioned site, they list it as part #CRCFD9259-010. Hope this helps

Yes! I ordered one yesterday. Go to

http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/search/partinfo.php?partsID=281964&modelsID=115462&typeName=dehumidifier

or if that link doesn't work go to appliancefactory parts.com and search under Fedders dehumidifier parts.

it is usually the same size as a garden hose

The clip that holds the sensor also rusted out on my M7DH65B2A (Rev-A-R) last year. How to reinstall the sensor with no clip? I used a pair of pliers to crimp/squeeze the sensor a bit. This makes it thin enough so that it could be positioned between a pair of coils, using a pair of pliers. I don't think this has ruined the sensor as the unit generally works well, except when room temperature drops into the low 60's farenheit. Best of luck.

Commercially available cool mist humidifiers sonicate water in order to create a fine mist. In other words, intense vibration liberates millions of tiny droplets of water from the reservoir. This water contains all of the salts of the original tap water. Consequently, over time, you will begin noticing that a fine white powder covers EVERYTHING in the room. This is the same stuff that is trapped in the reservoir of a warm mist humidifier.
its harmful but very annoying !

please rate me

Found the instruction book and by reading the setting it allowed the machine to shut off before it freezes up.

Thank you.

Either the humidistat is weak or the bucket is in place button is vibrating against bucket and short cycling

Clean the filter.

Before you go out and spend money, check the drain hose to see if mold may have built up in it blocking the drainage.

Dehumidifiers have a float switch in the collector which turns unit off to prevent overfill. Check it out and make sure it moves freely.

Is it showing that the bucket is full? Chech to see if styrofoam piece is in the right slots. If the finger tip part is broken then you will need a new one. Here is a link to the part.

Dehumidifiers have only a few components, and operate on the same principle as a refrigerator, freezer, or air-conditioner.
Components Residential dehumidifiers have a cooling system made up of these primary components:

• The compressor is the quiet motor (engine) of the cooling system. It's the black, football-size component at the bottom of your dehumidifier. The compressor runs as long as the dehumidifier humidistat (the humidity-sensor) calls for a reduction in the humidity.
  
  
• The condenser is a series of finned tubes, similar to a radiator. It's usually near the circulating fan.
  
  
• The evaporator is located near the back of the dehumidifier, right above the water-collection container. It also resembles a radiator or a coiled-up set of tubes. When the dehumidifier's humidistat senses increased humidity, it cycles on, which starts the compressor and circulating fan.
  
  
• The circulating fan circulates the air over the evaporator and condenser coils.
  
  

Principle When the unit runs, the circulating fan and compressor also run. The fan continually draws room air over the evaporator coils, which are cold, and then over the condenser coils, which are warm. Because the evaporator coils are cold, the moisture in the room collects on them--just as the outside of a glass of icy liquid "sweats" on a warm, humid day. When the moisture on the coils increases, it drips off of the coils into the collection container.

The air then flows over the warm condenser coils and out into the room. This process removes water from the air and, because of the heat from the fan motor and compressor motor, the exiting air is somewhat warmer, as well as dryer.

Check to see if the styrofoam float is in place correctly. Hopefully this fixes your problem. If the little plastic finger is broken on the float, then it will allways read full. At this point you could use the plastic tube that came with the owners manual to hook up a hose and then have it drain to a drain or try to super glue to finger back together. Here is a link to the tube that I was talking about.

I have the same model and bought a clear plastic hose at Home Depot, and drain it into a nearby bathtub. I don't have the size handy but just measure the diameter of the hose fitting, and make sure the hose has an inside diameter to match. Some stores sell hose by the foot; I bought a prepackaged roll.

Hey ya! To fix this u need to block that hose connection under the Dehumidifier. This will then re direct the flow to the Bucket collection mode. I have the same problem and resolved it this way after pullng mine apart. It looks like by default that hose connection at the bottom should have a plug/cap on it and after turning on ur dehumidifier this fills up then once full it starts to over flow into the bucket... Seems a strange design but thats how they have done it.

Hope this helps others.

If you have the hose drain tube connected, drainage will defer to it first. If you remove the hose drain tube, the place where it connects to the drain pan drips into the container instead.

take it back to where u purchased it and tell them it has stop working
