I have a Goldstar dehumidifier model # DH440EYR. The problem is the compressor comes on and the indicator light for fan speed comes on but the fan doesn,t turn. What can the problem be.

doesn't sound good sounds , the compressor is bad .. you might want to check if it has a gfic. i could be bad, i would cut it out and try it without before i replaced a gfic

hi,


It has high and low fan speeds, variable humidity controls including 'Max', and automatic shut-off with indicator when the reservoir is full.


so pls recheck the automatic shut-off when the reservoir is full .

may be the automatic shut-off botten are stymed.



good luck

Change the compressor starting components.

Hi,

There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.

Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

It is very normal for the compressor to get very hot, almost to the point of being able to fry an egg on it. So it is important to keep everything clean and dirt, dustfree. Clean the fan blades, tubing and anything that you can do to ensure good air flow.

if it seems to be running normally except no cooling , is the fan in the house running????...Is the house Cold and damp???.If there is no cooling and you know that the compressor and everything else appears to be normal then you likely have a Refrigerant leak and that will cause no cooling.....Usually a very expensive repair...if your unit is 5-10+ yrs old you likely need a new "A" coil.

You could be overcharged or undercharged with refrigerant, a dirty condenser or evaporator coil or fan or blower motor not running at full speed, or you could have a dirty filter or or possibly a bad capacitor on the compressor.

try to unplug the white plug going to the humidity control and see if it runs. worked for me. the control is bad

I have had the same problem. Following the advice of someone on these pages I opened the machine up and checked the fan with a meter. On my model (the 404) it has two settings so two leads; one seemed okay, the other was dead. I checked the circuit where the fan connector plugs in and I got that both speed settings were supplying plenty of juice. Apparently the fan motor is dead. A replacement runs $79 at http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/. I ordered one; we'll see what happens.

If any machine is completely electrically dead it is a sign that there is no electrical voltage getting through to operate it. Using an electric meter it is a relatively easy task to find the point of differential voltages which would indicate where the open circuit is located. The blue green fluid found is from copper oxide and is not necessarily indicative of a refrigerant leak. Oil present would be an indicator of a refrigerant leak.
