Don't pull too much or the will dry, squeak, crack - not less than 50% humidity

Check the voltage to the fan motor. More then likely the fan motor It is either frozen or burnt out.

remove water bucket from cabinet. filter is above,pull down fitter will come out wash with soft brush and warm soapy water slide filter back in groove above. waa laa.....!

A few things you could try are to make sure the float isn't covered in gunk and moving sticky-like, make sure air filters are clean and the compressor isn't overheating, and make sure the humidistat (probably a knob that says drier with arrows) isn't turning the machine off because it's reached the set level.

normally the problem is either your evaporator is dirty or may be your systems isover charged,

you need a competent person to cean your systems and check gas pressures on the discharge and suction sde of your compressor.

Hi,

The humidity switch (Hydrometer sensor) may be at fault or compressor or fan is not running.
First You could go directly to the compressor and make sure it is or is not getting power first. If the compressor has power then the compressor is suspect (sometimes when 1 wont start it gets hot to the touch) In any case the fan(s) should run with it on and trying to dehumidify.

2 KINDS of CONTROLS for your DEHUMIDIFY
If it has an electronic display the sensor will be a small probe close to the inlet of the air inlet circulation. Maybe its not in place.This type control is not something that can usually be checked without an ohm meter, thermometer, and Hydrometer or Psychometric measuring device to arrive at the wet-dry bulb temperatures thus determining the humidity and charts to determine the resistance value of the sensor(s). So replace the board and sensor on this type

If everything is clean on the coils and the filter is clean it should work.
I would recomending you to contact LG because they have a 5 year warranty on LG GOLDSTAR dehumidifiers. Make sure that you have your reciept. Usually what they will do is locate a shop near you and it can be serviced there. LG will pay the bill. Or if there is no local shop they will send you a service tag for your old unit and ship you a replacement unit. Contact LG and explain this problem to you. Everything should be covered under warranty still

Replace the fan motor. Common problem on this model. Should be a cheap fix. Try ebay...

I assume the dehumidifier was working fine at some point at this is a new development.

First cause could be insufficient air flow through the unit. Make sure it is not backed up too close to a wall or drapes, etc. It needs sufficient airspace around it to be able to flow the correct amount of air through itself.
Also related to airflow, your model has a filter on the top rear of the unit; check it for clogging. It ll cause the same condition, insufficient airflow, if it is clogged.

Second, make sure you are not using it in too cold of an environment; You should not be using the dehumidifier in a room that is reaching temperatures of 70F +/- a degree or so. If you keep your temperature in the low 70s and must use the dehumidifier, try putting it on a dresser/etc to get it away from the cooler temperatures on the ground.

Last possible cause is a slightly undercharged unit will frost up as well. If the system is older and has developed a leak, as the refrigerant level decreases it will begin frosting up the coils and eventually fails to work normally. At this point your unit would require professional service as they contain toxic gases and require special equipment to discharge/charge/leaktest.

I'll figure it out myself. Not going to pay $19.99 for a simple question to be answered.

you probably have a hose fitting above the bucket take bucket out and see if there is one where the water drains into bucket

Did you empty the water pan? If it is empty, maybe you didn't put it back in place exactly right, and the cutoff switch is not activated.

I threw the dehumidifier out and vowed to never buy a Goldstar product again.

Nothing on display? Remove panels and get to circuit board. Look for loose solder connection on the fuse, etc. Resolder any bad connections. Then turn it on. Let me know.

As an example, if you want the Humidity % factor to be 50%, 70% or whatever % you want in the space in question to be, set it at whatever % you want the space to be and the humidifier will work until it reaches that setting. It will then shut down until it determines that the humidity has reached a level that requires dehumidifying again. You can set it to run for 2 hours and it then it will shut down for 2 hours, or you can set it to run for 4 hours and then it will shut down for 4 hours. You just have to decide just how humid the area is that you are dealing with.
Go to; www.shopping.com and search for Goldstar Dehumidifiers and you can read comments by others who have purchased this brand. I, myself have one in my celler that has been running for over two years and it has made a world of differance down there.
Good luck. :)

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.
