My goldstar dehumidifier does not shut off when full, cannot adjust the control panels

Runs for a few minutes then shuts off, easy fix. First, remove water catcher and slide filter out and clean it. Then find the two screws that hold on the front panel remove front panel. Make sure the unit is un-plugged. The humidity control dial has two wires connected to it. clip the inner wire. This will keep the unit on full. You could replace the humidity control dial, but why bother?

hi,


It has high and low fan speeds, variable humidity controls including 'Max', and automatic shut-off with indicator when the reservoir is full.


so pls recheck the automatic shut-off when the reservoir is full .

may be the automatic shut-off botten are stymed.



good luck

lcd reads ch 1 shuts down bucket full light blinks red

Mine does the same thing and alos ices up. What is the problem?

Take cover off. First check the fuse on the circuit board. If it's blown replace it. That should get the motor running, the motor might be or is going out. If the motor is bad you'll have to replace the motor. If the fuse is good and the motor is good, unhook the wires on circuit board that go to the humidity control switch. If the unit comes on with the humidity control switch unhooked, you'll have to replace the humidity control switch. Sears has them for about $11.50. Hope this helps.
