Jim, you may also want to check the water bucket installation, too. If it is not properly installed, the unit will not turn ON. Also, check the float valve in the top of the bucket. It may be stuck in the UP position. In which case the unit will not start. Giggle the arm of the float valve to get it to return to the DOWN position.
Hope this helps you to further troubleshoot & solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.
doesn't sound good sounds , the compressor is bad .. you might want to check if it has a gfic. i could be bad, i would cut it out and try it without before i replaced a gfic
That's an indication, that the filter needs to be removed and cleaned. Turn the unit OFF & unplug it before removing the filter. You can vacuum the filter or if it's really dirty, wash it in warm water and dish washing liquid. Rinse thoroughly and allow to completely dry, before reinstalling. Never operate the unit without the filter installed.
If the coils continue to frost, but not defrost, they also should be cleaned.
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
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.
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.
