I have an LG dehumidifier, model # LHD65EBL. I had the fan motor go out on it a while back. Everywhere I looked, a new motor was at least $55, and some places wanted $95 for it! The LG site has it for $71.00. A few days ago I went to the SEARS PARTS DIRECT website and put in the part # off the side of the motor. They have the exact motor for $34.95, and the fan blades for only $6.00! After all the complaints I saw online, I wanted to make sure I shared this info to help other people. PLEASE let people know this. AT this price, it IS cheaper to fix it than replace the whole machine. Mine is now purring away and working like new. Thanks.

Thanks, cutter1. That's good information. And certainly, the price is right on the fan motor. For those who are mechanically inclined, and can do it themselves, it's really a bargain.

if by turn off do you mean make the fan stop running ? if so sometime in the past few years someone decided to make machines like this run the fan all the time , but they do cycle the compressor motor to regulate the rooms humidity level
Definitely sounds like the thing to do. However, before you do that, try lubricating the fan motor shaft with some light oil (like sewing machine oil). That may free it up.
With the unit unplugged, open the cover and check the alignment of the
fan. If the fan is stuck or rubbing against the fan cowling, adjust the
fan motor's mounting hardware so that the fan turns freely.
If the fan motor is quite hot to the touch when it is running and the smell is like something burning and the fan blade isn't rubbing on the housing then the fan motor bearing are most likely worn out. If that is the case then the fan motor is bad and needs to be replaced.
Hey, I need to buy a new fan motor and will share the install info once I install it myself. My question is: Where can I buy a fan motor for this unit?????
