Hi

You need to check that the bucket is clean and that the sensor for the water level in the bucket is clean.

An old toothbrush and some warm soapy water can sometimes achieve a great result.

Failing this you may need a new sensor, be careful and either draw or photo the old wiring route with your cell phone to make it easier to fit the new sensor

Hope this helps

Won't come on

Definitely check the air filter, it has a sensor and will stop working if it's dirty. Easy to clean by running water through it.

I have a Goldstar GHD30 dehumidifer that I bought used last week. It's pulling 20-30 pints of water each day out of my basement so it appears to be working. The compressor only runs for 1-2 minutes at a...

yes cycles should be longer either that or the unit is keeping close to desired humidity. Also the unit is under sized 30 pint is for 400sqft. or 20 by 20 room. humidity should be 30/50 percent check your level desired room temp is 70 degrees but its a basemnt 60 works.

GHD30 dehumidifier completely dead

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.

I have a Goldstar GHD30 dehumidifier. I have not used it in awhile. I plugged it in to run it today and it does not turn on. I cleaned the screen and tried different outlets, nothing works. HELP!

Check the condensate collection bucket. If the bucket is not inserted correctly the dehumidifier might think the bucket is full and thus not turn on.

Dehumidifier freezing up, is it the de-icer control? can it be replaced ?

Could be the tempurature of the room you have it in. Make sure it is not operating in a room below 65 degrees F or 18 C

You probley need to cleen the condensor coil

Testimonial: "Thanks, I will clean the coil asap and see what happens"

Anonymous Oct 17, 2011

If the filter is clogged up with a lot of debree/Dirt and other fibers it will cause the machine to overheat amd automatically shut down to prevent a fire. Clean the coils and the filter thoroughly at least once a month, and I think the problem will be solved!

I have this problem also. I cleaned the filter but how do I clean the condenser coil? Where is it located?
