I have read elsewhere on this site that overheating of compressor may be low gas level, but does that mean there is a leak? I have had the machine about 3 years, used over 1000 hours.
Actually, Carol, it shouldn't be necessary to take the unit apart. Mix a 50/50 solution of White Distilled Vinegar and Bottled Distilled Water (enough to fill the tank). Pour the solution in and allow it to sit overnight. Then empty the solution and fill the tank with Bottled Distilled Water. Turn the unit ON and allow it to run for 1 hour. Then empty any remaining Distilled Water. Doing all the aforementioned, should have not only cleaned the filter, but also the unit itself. If you use Bottled Distilled Water in the future, rater than tap water, the filter and the plumbing of the unit will stay clean longer and will require less maintenance.
Press and hold the Mist button for three seconds, the change light will blink and shut off. This is for a demineralization cartridge that you can buy separately it will turn on again after 30 days of use
If the room tempature is close to 60, the coils may be frozen (completely encased in ice). If this is the case, move it where the water can drain off - about 1 gallon which may NOT run into the drain bucket. I out mine over the floor drain. Turn off and it will defost over night. Only specially made dehumidifers work below a room temo of 60 degrees (the temp of a basement in winter). Does it need to be running? A digital humidity sensot from Radio Shack is cheap and may tell you the humidity is OK - only 50% or less.
