Windchaser MDH-W Dehumidifier Questions & Answers
How to get to the filter
Take out the water tray as if you were gong to empty it.
Take it all the way out.
Now you should see the filter tab just sticking out, above the water trap access compartment.
Slide it down and out. (Hold the tab and pull down firmly) it should slide out.
Hope this helps
Do I have a filter I need to change in my dehumidifier MHDW
i assume you have a humidifier and not a DEhumidifier? putting water in a dehumidifier defeats the purpose. it should remove the water from the air. don't fill the tank on the bottom. empty it. as for the filter, just use a vacuum across the front fins to remove the dust.
Power cord went bad...i need
Unfortunately, Windchaser has been out of business for about 6+ months and replacement parts are like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, I suspect that a small appliance repair shop can help you. As they stock or can order interchangeable cords for appliances like yours. If you plan on this being a DIY project, write down the color coding of the wires of your defective cord and where they are connected, before disconnecting it. This will save a lot of head scratching, when you install the new cord.
I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.
I have a Windchaser dehumidifier
The float valve sensor in the bucket is either stuck in the down position or has broken entirely. Accessing the interior of the tank is the only way to know. I would recommend that you use a continual drain hose, but that is not recommended, as the coils need some water in the tank to cool.
The real downside is, that Windchaser has been out of business (phones disconnected, website down, etc) for several months and parts are extremely had to find.
I hope I was of some help to you. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

I have an ebac15 dehumidifier. When I moved it there was an oily liquid underneath. Why would this be?
There could be several reasons why you're finding an oily liquid underneath your Ebac15 dehumidifier:
Refrigerant Leak: If the dehumidifier is leaking refrigerant, it could result in an oily substance pooling underneath. Refrigerant leaks are often accompanied by an oily residue1\.
Compressor Issue: A malfunctioning compressor can cause refrigerant leaks and result in an oily substance accumulating underneath the dehumidifier.
Condenser Coil Leak: If the condenser coil is damaged or deteriorating, it may lead to refrigerant leaks and the presence of oil underneath the dehumidifier.
Internal Component Failure: Internal components such as seals or tubing may degrade over time, leading to leaks of refrigerant or oil.
Improper Handling During Transport: If the dehumidifier was tilted or handled roughly during transportation, it could have caused oil from the compressor or other internal components to leak.
Given the potential hazards associated with refrigerant leaks, it's advisable to discontinue the use of the dehumidifier and consult a professional technician for diagnosis and repair.
