SOURCE: The coils keep freezing on my gold star dehumidifier

Try turning the setting down lower in order to help the unit cycle on and off, rather than have to run constantly.

It could be that your situation requires more than one dehumidifier for the space you're trying to cover with this one unit. These units are not designed to operate 24/7 without cycling on and off frequently.

The situation you're experiencing tells me that you have either an extreme amount of moisture where the unit is placed, or the area is much to large for just one unit to handle. If you can issolate the unit to one area by closing a door, etc. if that isn't possible, you'll likely need another dehumidifier to help reduce the load on this one that's freezing up while helping reduce the amount of moisture in the area.

If that doesn't help, please provide more details about the area the unit is being used in and the size of the room, etc., so I can further assist you in solving the problem. Thanks!

clean the dust off of the condenser in the front or the filter if it has one. no air flow results in overheating and no condensation across the evaporator coil.

I need to know how to clean filter. Lost book

Hello,

follow the below instructions:

Turn off the dehumidifier machine and unplug it from the wall.

Lift the water bucket up and out of the dehumidifier.

Locate the filter located under the compartment that houses the water bucket. Lift the filter straight up and out of the dehumidifier.

Vacuum as much of the visible dirt and debris as possible.

Fill a sink half full with water. Place the filter in the water and allow it to soak for one to two minutes.

Wipe both sides of the filter with a wet sponge to remove any remaining dirt and debris. Rinse the filter with clean water.
Wipe the filter with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture. Allow it to air dry for approximately 30 minutes before inserting it back into the dehumidifier.
Good luck.

Unit works fan runs lights turn on but no water in the bucket,

Some units use the condensate water to cool down the condenser coil. This is why no water is present. If water is leaking from the unit or you are still sceptical about this problem, I would call for service.

Power lose

I have a 45 pint. I have to slide the bucket in and out of the unit multiple times. Make sure to wait a few seconds after each time to see if it will recognize no water (sometimes the red light comes on, but then changes it mind). Also, I've found that leaving the bucket a little crooked will make it respond. It sucks, I know. Mine is only a year old too. Should not be a problem like this!
