20 Most Recent Haier HDN655E Dehumidifier - Page 8 Questions & Answers

If you can hear its fan running but it produces no condensate, then it's apparent that either the compressor is not running, or that the humidity setting needs to be lowered. If the compressor simply won't start, then it's time to replace that unit. Compressor or controls repair is far too costly. It's best to put that money into a new dehumidifier. Frigidaire units are highly rated and that's what I would recommend as a replacement.

I would talk to your medical professional. I have no idea what a catheter has to do with s dehmmidifier.

Unplug it and see if the air path is clean. Then power it up and check the compressor, if it is not operating you know the source of the problem, if it is then you probably are low on refrigerant. You can put a thermometer on the cold portion of the coil and see if it cools below the dew point (it won't) to confirm.

Define problem please.

My suggestion contact your insurance company. If it is less then your deductible trash it and get a new a new one. Lightning damage does not appear all at once, and you may have years of problems before everything is found. ESD damages semiconductors, we just do not know when they will fail.

The motor bearing may need some machine oil or the fan set screw that attaches the fan blades to the motor shaft may be loose.

Many just attach the hose at the reservoir; from your description, Haier apparently has a separate location. Check that the point that the hose attaches has an opening (many don't, they expect you to drill it). It should then drain through gravity. Check to make sure that no part of the drain hose is higher than the bottom of the reservoir, otherwise it can't drain. It won't siphon because each time the the tank empties, the suction is broken and the siphoning can't continue.

Have you checked the range at which it is supposed to run?
