Because its an air conditioner, not a heater?

There a several things that can cause the problem you have described.

1. The Dehumidifier Mode is operating at the same time as the AC or is operation on it's on.
In dehumidifier Mode heat is produced.

2. Air filter needs to be removed and cleaned.

3. A blockage or crimp in the exhaust hose.

4. The exhaust has a leak or has come loose from the unit.

5. The unit is sitting in direct sunlight or is adjacent to a heat producing appliance.

6. Compressor needs to be recharged with R134a refrigerant gas.

The 6 things listed above are where you need to start troubleshooting. 5 of which are easy to check and correct.

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers both work on the same idea. A dehumidifier is a "air conditioner" that doesn't run so good as a air conditioner, plus, it sits on the floor in your basement (where ever) and not in the window.

The idea is to draw warmer air (which holds more moisture) into the machine where it is chilled (cooler air can not hold as much moisture). The moisture is deposited on the coils and it drips either to a drip pan (where it runs out the back to the outside (AC)) or a catch bucket (in a dehumidifier and you either dump it in the drain or you have connected a hose and led it to the drain). The air that is returned to the room contains less moisture than it did when it entered the device. The best relative humidity is about 50%, BTW. Not to wet and not to dry.

The goal in the case of a AC is cool air (which contains less moisture) and the goal in a dehumidifier is less humidity (moisture), but not necessarily cooler air.

I am not familiar with "dry mode" to which you refer. You have mentioned your device is a Goldstar Microwave Oven so it is impossible for me to gather any information on your particular model AC or dehumidifier.

I hope this information has helped you today. Thank you for your interst in FixYa.com. Please make a favorable evaluation of this response.

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

Your condensor fan motor has more than likely gone out. This fan should run at all times when the unit is on. Since the fan isn't working then the motor must have gone out.

Check the compressor run capacitor first.

The tank may be full. Your dehumidifier has a safety device that turns off the dehumidifier when the water tank is full. Usually the tank itself either presses against a switch or there's a device connected to the tank that triggers a switch when the tank is in place and full.

If you've emptied the tank and the unit doesn't run, inspect the place where the tank rests to see if there's a switch or mechanism that's not being activated. You may be able to turn it on with a simple flick of your finger.

1.check blower fan motor.if blower fan motor donot work then compressure trip after 5 to 10 minitue.
2.make switch of airconditioner n reset again.
