You need to check that actual amp draw of the unit. It could be the unit has an issue or you have a breaker that could be failing. Unless I know what the actual amp draw is, I can't tell you where to start looking

SOURCE: Dehumidifier tripping the breaker

be very careful - with the unit unplugged - try shorting the capacitor with an insulated screwdriver. if you get a healthy spark - the cap is probably ok. if you don't replace the cap. the cap is used in the motor's start winding.

SOURCE: trips the circuit breaker on start up

I would try to find an outlet on another circuit to see if maybe the problem is definately your dehumidifier, if it trips again then you know it is...If not then call an electrician..

SOURCE: Humidifier is freezing up

I have the same dehumidifier and it does the same thing. but I was able to fix mine. It was not low on refridgerant. There is a temp. sensor clamped to the evaporater coil with a thin metal clip. The clip rusted out and the sensor fell out of position. I used a small stainless steel hose clamp and clamped the sensor back into position. It now works fine

SOURCE: Dehumidifier problem

First, make sure the rectangular filter on the back side is clean so air can flow over the coils freely. Try to place the dehumidifier on a table or something to get it off the floor. (floor level is cooler than head level) If you still have icing issues, replace sensor. (part # WK23X10011 )

I have Model: DM30A which constantly freezes up even though it is on a three foot high table and the temperature never goes below 60 degrees
The unit freezing up doesn't surprise me at all. If the temp in your room is 60 degrees then the temperature of the air will be around 40 degrees and the coil is about 20 degrees. Your expecting to much, the tempature is to cold to work properly.

Does not generate water. The fan keeps on running. Forms ice on coils
If the room temperature 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 defrost over night.
Only specially made dehumidifiers work below a room temp of 60 degrees (the temp of a basement in winter).
Does it need to be running? A digital humidity sensor from Radio Shack is cheap and may tell you the humidity is OK - only 50% or less.
