Maytag Dehumidifiers - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Use clear silicone, the type used in bathrooms. Make sure it is silicone and not acrylic sealer. https://www.dap.com/products-projects/product-categories/caulks-sealants/specialty/clear/ ..

Unless you have it installed in an especially dirty area, the filter hardly ever gets any appreciable accumulation of dust and dirt. The manufacturer turns on the clean filter reminder after so many hours of operation. Never is it indicative of detected dirt clogging filter. Just hit the filter reset button on the control panel

It may be right. Are you sure you need dehumidification? Put a free-standing humidity meter near the unit to check. If you still want to run the dehum, take the humidity sensor out of the line and control the unit with a timer.

Q= whats the rooms %rh that its located in ?

The condenser can only remove humidity if there is still humidity in the air. What's your Relative Humidity? A manual sling psychrometer is cheap enough to check it.

This model holds 45 pints, or 22.5 quarts.

Well my unit is a 45Pint Model M7DH45B2A - REC-CY, I searched high and low for a date but couldn't find one. It had on it, the stats, On the High side it runs 400 PSI, Low side 150 PSI. Mine does have an Energy Star Sticker. It was purchased 2005 or 06. We've only had to replace relay switch once and that was last year.

You emptied the tank, right?

If it is not running because it thinks the bucket is full even when it isn't, the problem is that the float is broken or jammed. A replacement is no longer available, but you can find the small switch and tape it so it always stays on. It won't shut off when the bucket is full, but it will run. This assumes all the other panel lights come on properly - you didn't provide much detail about what works and what doesn't work.

Put machine on pause, On the front of your machine you'll see a seam that is the separation of the tank, gently put your hands on the side of the machine and you'll see and feel indentations of where you have to gently pull forward until you feel the tank coming off, make sure when you pull it is with equal pressure and you can use your thumbs to hold the machine from rolling when you take the tank off. ( it is a two handed operation), get ready for the tank coming out because depending on the amount of water in it, it may be heavy. If your still stumped, I guess I can video it being done?? Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Naturally, it has NO Hands.

Search on line using make and model number. They have more then one model.

Go to a big box store or garden supply.
