It does not turn on. - Haier HDN655E Dehumidifier

If the fan is barely turning, it could be the fan is bad. This fan blows air across a 2 coils.

Once the timer turns the unit ON and it runs for 5 hours and turns OFF, you have to manually restart it again. It will not turn back ON automatically,

Hope this answered your question. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Turn the unit OFF and unplug it for 15 minutes.
Then plug the unit back in and turn it ON. During that 15 minute timeout, the unit's electronics may have reset themselves and reverted back to the original factory settings. If it did, you can now set the controls as you like.

Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Try reinserting the bucket, making sure that it's positioned properly. So that the safety switch is engaged. If that still doesn't solve the problem. Turn the MASTER ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Wait 12 - 15 minutes and plug the unit back in. Turn the MASTER ON/OFF Switch to ON and hopefully, if the bucket is positioned properly, the unit will have reset itself.

Hope this helps you to solve the problem. Please let me know.

There is likely a switch operated by a float to turn that light on and turn off the compressor, sometimes manufactures use a rubber "O" ring on the float shaft and they can slip. take the cover off the pump and check the float or in some cases one of two floats are used. Once float turns the pump on and off and the second float shuts OFF the compressor and turns ON the full reservior light.

It may be too cool in the basement for it to work. Mine doesn't work if its 67 or below. Take it upstairs and see if it works there, where it is warmer.

Maybe the room is dry enough so the humidity sensor is turning it off?

If not, maybe the thermisensor(fuse) on the fan motor is failing?

find your motor shaft diameter and buy another fan from grainger supply.

sounds like you need to replace your humidistat control. this is just like a thermostat on an air conditioning system, except inside of sensing temp and turning off, it senses humidity and turns off.
