LG LD50EL Dehumidifier - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/content/pdfs/117173-8.pdf

The problem you're experiencing can be caused bu 2 things: The drain hose is clogged or to long or the inner drain tubing to the hose connection is clogged.

The drain hose clog is is easy to solve. However, the inner tubing clog takes a little more effort.

First turn the unit OFF & unplug it. Disconnect the drain hose. Using an appropriately sized, 18" long, plastic Zip Tie, carefully insert the tip of Zip Tie into the hose connector hole and inner tubing. Continue to push it in until you reach a bend in the tubing. You will need to gingerly work the Zip Tie past this bend, until it either bottoms out or you run out of usable Zip Tie. Then slowly pull the Zip Tie back out while rotating (twisting) it. This will breakup any clogs. As you reach the inserted end of the Zip Tie, be prepared, as some water may follow.Reconnect the drain hose, plug the unit in and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Set the humidity extraction level to 35% or Maximum if you have a manually controlled unit. Allow the unit to run, while you monitor the hose end for water flow. be patient as it may take 5 to 10 minutes to start flowing.

NOTE: If you don't have a Zip Tie, you may use something similar ( i.e.a long pipe cleaner), but NO wire coat hangers.

Hope this helps you to solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why a dehumidifier willnot work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrongwith their dehumidifier

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

You should be able to connect the unit to a drain hose - then you won't have to empty the bucket. Have you tried that?

Otherwise, you only have 2 options I can think of:
1) empty the bucket frequently (before it fills up) or
2) siphon off a bit of the water before jarring the bucket

BTW, I eventually gave up on using dehumidifiers unless I was trying to dry out wet carpet. They are a hassel, and they are essentially A/C units that doesn't give you cool air.

depends on the weather, not of setting. it does not have to fill up alot always, if you turn up the dail and it starts working, or turn it down it stops, all is well

Your unit is probably operating in defrost mode. When you use a dehumidifier in a cold room, the condensing coils can freeze water. The unit senses this and thus stops the compressor until the water frozen on the coils melts. Then it resumes its cycle. This is a problem you will have during the winter months. It makes the operation of the unit inefficient, but this is otherwise normal behavior.

Question edited, toss in a load of CAPS. The capacitor is likely to have failed internally. It can still produce voltage. Or the transformer that supplies power has failed. No one else has recorded this issue https://www.google.com/search?q=LG+Dehumidifier+model+LHD459ELY9.+No+power+to+the+display ..

The bucket is drained continuously with hose connected - no need for "full" sensing

the drain hole(s) are blocked up. Needs cleaning

Hello everyone, can someone please tell me what is error code CH10 on lg dehumidifier please?
Thank you

Try resetting the GFI breaker, assuming it is connected to one. Also check the main breaker panel to make sure the breaker is not tripped. Unfortunately the electronic panels do go bad in these systems after a few years of service. Try resetting the unit. There should be a tiny reset button on the back. Also if the bucket is full it will not turn on, make sure it is in place and seated properly or it will not turn on. There may be a reset on the cord itself as well, hope this helps.

Is the other end of the hose BELOW the level of the bucket?

Here's a link to an article written by a service technician with more than 30 years of experience. It gives details on How to Clean Dehumidifier

Go to LG's website to look at the recall list.

Heating up ? are u saying the fans not running (there are two fans inside) id look into why the fans aren't running , only one the speed is adjustable the other is not it runs solid speed all the time

make sure the bucket is in the right spot LG LD651EBL Owner Manual Page 15

if thats where you run it at 40 i suspect it's overheating and shut off possibly broken now , one should never set a humidistat less than say 66%rh as a normal house is 70%rh and asking anything more of a home unit is just not possible if moisture is that much a problem try running two units about twenty feet apart , they will cycle more to cool down and will run longer , might even be more efficient than running one harder

You can't, it uses freon.

totally dead, check fuses. could be stiffened up over the time and took fuse out on first switch on
