Low outside temp means low indoor humidity

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.

My Frigidaire Model 50S1 dehumidifier purchased in May 2009 runs but is not extracting/collecting any water. How do I remedy this problem?

Hello friend, thanks for your inquiry!

I understand that your Frigidaire dehumidifier is running but not pulling any moisture. I would check the set point and if necessary set it to a lower setting. Attempt to run your appliance on "CO" which is for continuous drain to see if any moisture is pulled out of your room. If those steps do not work you may want to reach out to the manufacture to see if they have any potential remedy for your appliance. -Matt

Does not collect water in bucket but runs all the time

Does it have a filter?

"
It may be that the humidity level or temperature in the room where your dehumidifier is located is too low.

When the outdoor temperature is below 50 F, the indoor air will be dry even when the air inside is warm, therefore when it's cold outside the dehumidifier may collect little or no water.

Air conditioners will also remove moisture from the room, even if it's hot and humid outside, resulting in little or no moisture collecting in the dehumidifier bucket.

Some dehumidifiers have a deicer which turns off the compressor but keeps the fan running. When the compressor is off, moisture is not removed from the air. The deicer turns off the compressor when the room temperature is cold.

Some dehumidifiers do not have a deicer. If the room temperature is low enough, ice may form on the evaporator coil. The ice prevents the dehumidifier from removing and collecting water. If ice forms on coils, unplug dehumidifier until ice melts and room temperature rises."

The filter (on some models) may be dirty or clogged. If so, clean the filter. For instructions on cleaning the filter.

Frostguard 36 Dehumidifier runs, but collects no water.

unfortunately it sounds as though your refrigerant leaked out. If your compressor is running and no moisture, this is probably the case. What is the temperature of the air coming out?

Dehumidifier not collecting moisture

Normal 0 When you push the power button, the blower fan comes on. In a few minutes you should hear a second "click"--that is your compressor starting. Do you hear that second click?
