Ebac Dehumidifiers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Just adding this as I found a basic design fault with my CD30... basically the defrost function runs after about 50 mins of operation, but what was happening was the unit was cutting off (because it had lowered the humidity to the set level) before the 50 mins had elapsed. The unit would then start again (with the coils still iced up) but never run for the 50 minutes needed to activate the defrost.. so a massive iceberg ended up building on the back of the unit! I modified the wiring of the unit so that the timer board is always powered, and the humidistat switches the neutrals of the compressor, fan and solenoid. This has totally cured the problem. Any decent electrician would be able to do this mod in a few minutes. I think the defrost circuit design has changed on newer models (probably because it was rubbish!!)

Hi, I have the same issue. I took off the plastic backside and managed a work around by removing the brown cable from the micro switch. It is now running again, but it won't get a signal when the water container is full ... so be aware when you start running it !

I see by my computer this is a UK unit made for UK climates. I also found various web sites you can access for help with your unit. Please explore these. God bless your efforts.

you could try ebay.or try asking google if there is a place near were you live.

This site might be able to help you. For the ebac 2850E manual. I could not find a "Z"850E Dehumidifier Instruction Manuals User Guides
