a change in tone of the noise from a working unit indicates to me that a bit of dust/dirt has built up on the internal fans blades and has caused a imbalance in the fan now , this usually requires a complete disassembly and cleaning out to remedy
Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier willnot work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrongwith their dehumidifier
Connie, it will only work if all of the interior doors to the basement are closed during this time. Even putting an old towel at the bottom of the door(s) leading to the basement will stop the air flow.
Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.
Hi, When the compressors start to go bad they often start to get very loud also...the cost to replace the compressor will probably be more then a new unit...

Yes they should last longer than that, but the sad thing is that they don't make anything like they used too...just check out all the problems in this site for a few minutes...most of the problems should never happen...
Hi,
This noise is the vibration from the compressor...sometimes things can come loose and magnify the noise...check for loose parts and tighten as needed...
The compressor may also be going bad...

dehumidifier for sure!, usually a small 200$ unit will do the job. you can even hook a hose to one to drain it so you dont have to empty the bucket all the time. as for your house, when its raining hard outside, walk around you house and see if there is any areas where water is going in beside a wall. also long eavestrough pipes away from the house helps alot
