Hello, if this is a window AC make sure the unit is tilted back in the window about a 1/4 inch. Also, if there is a drain outlet make sure itnis not blocked and not allowing the condensate to flow.

It may be overheating, but chances are it has a high limit control switch which may be bad or it is overcharged with freon, in any case the limit and/or the freon charge needs to be verified by a qualified person who know the proper method's for charging and verify charge.
The hotter outside temps cause the high side pressure to rise, with a properly charged system it should operate properly even at 120 degree temps.
My Maytag m7dh45b2a dehumidifier is
Although you have already cleaned the filter, there are 4 other basic, yet solvable reason that can cause the problem. However just for informational use I am listing all 5. Pay particular attention to # 1 & 5.
1. The humidity extraction level is set to HIGH. Lower it to 32-35%. If you have a manual unit
turn the humidity extraction level knob to Maximum.
2. Air intake filter is dirty or clogged. Turn unit OFF, & Unplug the
Unit, before removing to inspect & clean it, if necessary. If washed,
allow filter to completely dry before reinstalling. DO NOT operate
the unit without the filter.
3. Obstructed air flow. Maintain a minimum of 12 to 18" of clear air
space around the entire unit.
4. Cooling coils are dirty and need to be cleaned. Use warm water & dish washing liquid to
clean the coils. Rinse and wipe dry. Apply a light coating of WD40 to the coils.
5. Ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 - 60 degrees.
dehumidifiers do not work well between those temperatures
(Unless, you have a Low Temp Unit). This applies mainly to
where the air
temperature at floor level is colder than at shoulder level
in basement applications. Raising the unit up off the floor,
onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight
of the unit, plus a full tank of water, will usually resolve this
problem.
If
none of the above solves the problem, it may be a case of the
compressor needs to be recharged with refrigerant gas or that the humidity condenser sensor has failed. These things usually occur in units that are
5 years old or older. It's rare in a unit younger than that. But, it
can happen.I hope this helps you to further troubleshoot and solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.
