Richard?
I have provided you a website that may help.

There has been a recall since 2013. Here below is the website.

My advice. Contact Gree. Be persistent and kind. Customer Support Reps, being people, can do wonders sometimes when they are treated kindly.

    Answer below, POOR ANSWER!
    "....My advice. Contact Gree. Be persistent and kind. Customer Support Reps, being people, can do wonders sometimes when they are treated kindly..."

    In theory, sure. However if contacting Gree regarding "why havn't you received your promised Recalled refund check", it won't matter how nice you speak to the Gree recall customer service.
    Why you ask? Because you will NOT be speaking with Gree at all. Instead, the people that answer the phones actually work for a company called Stericycle. Stericycle is a vendor that Gree hired to process recalled dehumidifiers, in order to avoid angry callers asking why their promised refund checks are not being mailed to them. I know this how? Because several qualified dehumidifiers were processed in early February 2019. Kits were then mailed to me for data completion and the machines manufacturer sticker and electrical cord to be enclosed, then mailed back to them. Weeks later Gree (Stericycle) verified their receipt, were processed, and approved for refund checks that were supposed to be mailed out 8 weeks from when they received the returned kits from me (Feb. 20, 2019). Guess what? It's June 15 and still no checks!!! My friendly demeanor continues to get the same answer.... "we really don't know why Gree has stopped mailing out checks to people; You're not alone"

Is there a recall on Frigidaire dehumidifier Model FAD504DUD

Some dehumidifiers with the model number, FAD504DUD, are subject to a recall. Record the serial number and then go to https://www.recallrtr.com/dehumidifier to check if your unit was manufactured in the bad batch.

Without the serial number, I can't be sure if your unit is in the 2016 recall. For details, you can look at https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2017/Dehumidifiers-Made-by-Midea-Recalled .

I hope this helps.

Goldstar dehumidifier dh404ey7 starts and runs about 5 mins., then trips house breaker in all different outlets.

any appliance that trips the fuse or breaker should not be tried to use by homeowner this is a fire hazzard as an electric short is a dangerous situation to have in any home , replace unit ! ck with mfg for recalls first and warrentys as well then contact your power company sometimes they give rebates for appliance upgrades but they require old ones back in order to pay u money on them

Is there a recall on this product? My compressor and fan run but no water is collected. I know other Amana dehumidifiers were recalled for fire risk due to compressor overheating so I took cover off and...

Your description indicates a loss of refrigerant in the dehumidifier. The metal heat exchanger above the water collector should become cold when the compressor is running - if it does not, your dehumidifier likely has lost it's refrigerant charge. You will have to take it to a certified (refrigerant handling) technician to repair. It may make more sense to replace with a new dehumidifier.

Check the CPSC website for dehumidifier recalls. they will have details of the brands/models/serial numbers of recalled units.
