Frigidaire De Humidifier model FFAP7033. The FO light comes on and the dehumidifier runs but does not remove moisture from the room. The manual does not say what can be wrong with the machine.

It is set in the room in the correct temperature range and voltage outlet.

It sounds like the thermostat is off. This would be the first place I would check.

Don, unless your dehumidifier is a Low temperature model, that very well may be the problem.
The air temp in a basement at floor level is colder than that chest level. Dehumidifiers don't work well at temperatures at 40 degrees F or less. Raising the unit up off the floor on to a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that is strong enough to handle it's weight, plus a full tank of water, will generally solve the problem. The higher up you can safely put it, the better. Also, lower the humidity extraction level to 35%. As 50% is just not low enough in a basement application.

Hope this helps you to solve the problem.

Frigidaire dehumidifier has an error code of EC and does not take in any water. The temp in the basement is a constant 68 degrees.

First, I'm not a Frigidaire tech.
* Check your warranty. Call for service.
* Contact (note Live Chat link); https://www.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Contact-Us/
*** following is for information only ***
* Checking basic problems; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXJrVGP_Ixs
* The humidifier will only run if the "Humidity" (water or moisture in the air) is higher than the current setting on the humidifier. If it's set to maximum dry setting then expect it to run almost 100% of the time. If it is set to a "wet" setting then expect it run only for short periods.
* Colder room temperatures will reduce the frequency of cycles as cold air will hold less moisture than warm air.
* You may note that running a AC unit in the same room as the dehumidifier will give you mixed results as both units will "fight" or work against each other. Humidifier will heat the air as it exits while the AC will cool the air. Best to not run the AC while the dehumidifier is in operation.
* Note that AC do "dehumidify" the air as it passes through. But not as effective as a dedicated dehumidifier.
* Be sure to check the tub and filter (make sure they are seated properly.)
* Contact Frigidaire or your local Appliance store for service.

Is it possible that the de humidifier has soaked up all the water in the room

I doubt that would be possible with a consumer grade dehumidifier even if you sealed off the room so that no more air could get in. In a normal house you constantly have more moisture coming in with the air.

Dehumidifier runs but does not remove moisture. Why?

probably the ac section to cool the humidifier is not working
for a de-humidifer to work there has to be a cold surface to condense the water vapour in the air
if there is no ac unit ,it will still need that temperature difference to work or a sufficient humidity in the air to work

My dehumidifier doesnt take any moisture out of the room let it run for 24 hours and buckets empty can you help

Not sure if you have set the level of operation correctly. It may be set to low.
In addition, have you noticed any frost or icing on the coils of the unit? If so, it's frozen up and you will have to allow it to thaw out completely, before restarting it. Also, the air temperature where you have the humidifier can affect it's operation. Especially, if the temperature is below 41 degrees. In addition, if the filter on the back of the unit is dirty, that will definitely affect the proper operation of the unit.

In case you have misplaced your Owners Manual, I have included a link to it. You can download and print it for future reference, if you so desire.

Does not dehumidify

Hello. I am here to help. Let me begin by saying that a dehumidifier only needs to be operated if the humidity in your home is too high. If the humidity is low, the humidifier will have to work really hard to try and remove water from it.

Here is an overview of how the dehumidifier is supposed to work:

When the unit runs, the circulating fan and compressor also run. The fan continually draws room air over the evaporator coils, which are cold, and then over the condenser coils, which are warm. Because the evaporator coils are cold, the moisture in the room collects on them--just as the outside of a glass of icy liquid "sweats" on a warm, humid day. When the moisture on the coils increases, it drips off of the coils into the collection container.

The air then flows over the warm condenser coils and out into the room. This process removes water from the air and, because of the heat from the fan motor and compressor motor, the exiting air is somewhat warmer, as well as dryer.
