Top 20 LG LHD45EL Dehumidifier Questions & Answers

I believe it is a water tank code. Re-seat the tank, unplug wait 15 seconds and replug the power cord and see if this resolves the error. Background relating to other possibilities. When the water bucket reaches its capacity, the bucket switch opens to shut off the dehumidifier. If the bucket switch fails while it is open, it will prevent the dehumidifier from running. To determine if the bucket switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the bucket switch does not have continuity, replace it.

It can be recharged but you would first have to locate and fix the leak and then refill. Then add a schraeder valve and refill at the port till suction line is cold to touch and starts to sweat. That's it!

A dehumidifier works like a low powered air conditioner where a fan draws air through a refrigeration unit which cools it and condenses water vapour and collects it in a container. There is likely to be at least one air filter so some cleaning of the air takes place and such filter(s) will need attention periodically and in addition most manufacturers claim their products need servicing every 3 years. Best results will be obtained when the room is closed and ventilation minimal and the capacity of the machine is more than adequate for the space where it is sited. A room with an open window or where the door is opened frequently is not really a suitable site for a dehumidifier. It is important to choose a machine that is somewhat too large as efficiency will fall between service intervals. It is quite possible a manual for a different but similar model by the same manufacturer will provide some useful information...

simple answer, yes

looking at the back of the machine there is a plastic female hose connection just above the top of the reservoir.

The lower the number the dryer the air will be. 50 will provide a comfortable room.

Pull the plug on the unit and strike it moderately with your hand listening for any vibrations. Try to pinpoint the source of that vibration and correct it. You should also place the unit on solid ground to eliminate the possibility of the noise being amplified by the surface it is sitting on. "Very noisy" is very subjective. Best I can do for now. Please post your findings

Read the instruction manual and then after you understand that turn it on and set it accordingly. 35% for the humiodity might be a good starting pint. It has a refrigeration system that blows room air across the evaporator coil then across the condenser coil. The evaporate coil gets cold causing moisture to condense and eventually drip into a collection device.

Make sure that the water full detection switch is not stuck in the full position. Its a plastic piece near the top side and when the water level gets high enough it floats the piece up to turn off the unit. It can sometimes get misaligned when changing the bucket and stuck in the off position.

Assuming this isn't just a weather change, it probably needs cleaning. The unit is supposed to run the fan without the compressor intermittently to give the cold coils a chance to warm up a bit so the little bit of ice that normally forms can melt off. But once they get dirty, this melting and runoff is impeded. Spray some formula 409 (or similar) on the coils and rinse thoroughly. It is also possible that the unit is not switching over to run the fan only (without the compressor). This could be due to a bad temperature sensor, or it may be dirty or corroded so it thiinks the coils are a bit warmer than they really are. If you can find this sensor (it's usually attached to the coils with a little spring clip) see if you can't clean up where it makes metal contact (thermal contact) witht the coil. Good luck.

CH 01 Indicates that water collection tank is full and needs to be removed & emptied. Turn the unit OFF and unplug it, before removing the bucket.

Attach a length of garden hose no longer than 5 feet, to the threaded drain hose connection that was supplied with your unit, to carry water to the drain.
1. Remove the drain-hole cover on the back left side of your unit.
2. Connect a garden hose to the threaded drain hose connector.
3. Push hose connector tightly to the drain-hole on Rear Grille with the arrow on the tab pointing UP.
The hose attachment will accept a standard garden hose fitting.
Do not over tighten the hose when connecting it to the hose connector,
use a rubber washer and tighten by hand firmly without stripping the
plastic threads.
When being attached to hose connector drain hose connection,
do not bend or kink the hose. The hose should lie flat from the
dehumidifier to the drain.

The bin or bucket as it's called, simply pulls straight out from the holder. Be sure no packing or shipping tape is still on the unit, holding the bucket in place. Be sure when you're trying to remove the bucket, that you pull evenly from left to right on the bucket.

Hope this helps and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Hi

CH 01 Error means that the temperature sensor/bucket switch is bad and should be replaced, replacing it yourself will cost you around $30 & 2 hours of your precious time J. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
