Unit Runs (fan and condenser) but no water?


My Dehumidifer runs, but does not collect any water. The fan and condenser both are working/running, but no water is collecting in the bucket. There is plenty of moisture in the air for the the unit to take in.

    I have the SAME problem!

  • Bradleymac5 May 20, 2008

    Hi,

    Same problem on Comfort-Aire BHD-651 purchased October 2006.

    Unit runs but no water drains. Fan is working and filter is clean. I think unit is freezing up.

    After unit has been running for awhile, it is making a lot of noise. It seems there is less air flowing through too.

    Any suggestions to visually check for freezing?

    Thanks,

    Ryan

By condenser I assume you mean the compressor is running. Is there ice forming on the front coil?

Kenmore dehumidifer not working. odel251.50501010

I would suspect the cooling coils have leaked the freon and aren't cooling enough to condense the humidity into water. These units aren't really made to repair unless it's a switch or humidity sensor. The cost to have the leak fixed and freon reloaded would exceed just buying a new unit.

Dehumidifer Runs but doesn't collect water

Depends on he conditions of the water. These units are relatively inexpensive and typically do not justify the expense of repair. I'ld donate it to an air conditioning school and buy another one.

My model LG3850A20500H dehumidifer is not collecting any water but is running. Is there anything I can check?

You can check the condenser unit, by touching it. (be carefull of hot surface) if the condensor unit not warm at all we can sure that the dehumidifier is not working, (only fan). The problem may be come from compressor or temperatur limit is not working or cooling agent is finished cause by some leakage on the tube.

Everything works, but does not collect water

I have the same dehumidifer - make and model. I bought it less than a year ago. It too runs fine, but now collects no water. Did you ever discover how to fix the problem?
