20 Most Recent Santa Fe 4027450 Dehumidifier Questions & Answers

Joe, there are 5 basic, but solvable reasons for what you described. Please pay particular attention to numbers 1 & 2.

1. The humidity extraction level is set to HIGH. Lower it to 32-35%.

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 troubleshoot and solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

You should check if the compressor is running. Your description makes it appear that the fan may be running and the compressor may not be running.

There are many things that can cause a compressor to cease running:

Open defrost thermostat
Bad run capacitor
Low refrigerant charge (caused by refrigerant leak)
Bad compressor relay
Bad compressor overload
Bad compressor motor

Other things to check:

If the fan switch is set to "on" and the humidity control is set to a high humidity level, the unit may appear to be running, but the compressor will not operate. Check the setting of your humidity control.

If the dehumidifier is operating in a room with a high temperature and a low dew point (very low relative humidity), it may be unable to remove any more moisture from the air.

If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the unit on your own, call the manufacturer service department at 1-800-533-7533, EXT 8459. They are very helpful.

The incoming air temperature has alot to do with how well a unit works. As the basement area warms up the dehu always works better. The water leak may be caused by a plugged drain line or a crack in the plastic drain pan in the 150 Max. Please call the Thermastor Tech Line at 800-533-7533 x 8459. Let's see if we can help determine what is going on.

Are you keeping all of the metal covers in place while the machine is running? If you remove some of the metal covers, the fan may not move the air through the dehumidifier as intended.

If the compressor runs (with all of the metal covers in place) and the accumulator does not become cold, there are a few things that may be affecting your dehumidifier.

1. low refrigerant charge - you may have a refrigerant leak.
2. blocked capillary tube or broken expansion valve.
3. blocked air filter prevents enough air from moving through the dehumidifier.

Clean the air filter of dust and debris. https://www.google.com/search?q=Idylis+dehumidifier+with+pump+getting+an+E2+code ..

There could be several reasons why you're finding an oily liquid underneath your Ebac15 dehumidifier: Refrigerant Leak: If the dehumidifier is leaking refrigerant, it could result in an oily substance pooling underneath. Refrigerant leaks are often accompanied by an oily residue1\. Compressor Issue: A malfunctioning compressor can cause refrigerant leaks and result in an oily substance accumulating underneath the dehumidifier. Condenser Coil Leak: If the condenser coil is damaged or deteriorating, it may lead to refrigerant leaks and the presence of oil underneath the dehumidifier. Internal Component Failure: Internal components such as seals or tubing may degrade over time, leading to leaks of refrigerant or oil. Improper Handling During Transport: If the dehumidifier was tilted or handled roughly during transportation, it could have caused oil from the compressor or other internal components to leak. Given the potential hazards associated with refrigerant leaks, it's advisable to discontinue the use of the dehumidifier and consult a professional technician for diagnosis and repair.

The Units are made in the Far East and are often sold under different maker names but retaining all or part of the model number. Here is the manual sold by Evantair. It has a compressor.https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1016879/Evantair-Wdh-816eah.html#manual..

Can you give a little more detail about the problem? Is it turning on? Is there just no water collecting?

'make model (what it is)' first 3 words in every question please. You could have three issues. 1. a drain plug not removed 2. an airlock 3. a blockage caused by biofilm gunk. Nasty stuff. Try blowing air UP the drain hose. ..

I would check the position of the sensor and make sure it is clean and free from debris.

Question edited for a lot more clarity, add maker, fix English. It sounds like a refrigeration issue like low gas. There are various idea here, but you probably need to drop it off at a refrigeration service centre. https://www.google.com/search?q=gd2005+dehumidifier+starts+and+stops+working ..

Hello I would like to buy a dehumidifier "Challenge" ram 710. Is there a possibility to connect a little pipe, so it can be runned for 24 hrs, without having to care if the tank is full or not? Thank you for all your answers! Daniel
