Hi Walter, thank you for your inquiry. I understand that your Frigidaire Dehumidifier is tripping the breaker. I would recommend checking to make sure that the bucket is installed properly. If everything checks out I would possibly changing the fuse in your home circuit breaker and never use an extension cord. Hope this helps! -JK

probably the ac section to cool the humidifier is not working for a de-humidifer to work there has to be a cold surface to condense the water vapour in the air if there is no ac unit ,it will still need that temperature difference to work or a sufficient humidity in the air to work

Thank you for your post, K!

I understand that your Frigidaire dehumidifier is continuously running and it is not collecting water. This can be caused by a dirty filter. A dirty filter can restrict air flow which will allow your dehumidifier to not pull in air. I would recommend checking your filter to make sure it is clean.

Frost on the coils within your dehumidifier will also cause your dehumidifier to stop working as well. You should check to make sure that there is not frost visible on your dehumidifier. If you do locate frost you would need to perform a manual defrost on your dehumidifier and you can do that by disconnecting power from it for at least two to three hours.

If these steps do not resolve your issue you may need to reach out to the manufacturer for a proper resolution. I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt

From what you have described you would like to use your Frigidaire dehumidifier for a heater. Unfortunately you are unable to use your dehumidifier as a heater.

Hopefully this is helpful. -Matt

Good Afteroon Friend, this is Z. Thank you for your inquiry! Typically there are one or two reasons why your dehumidifier is not collecting water. Either the setting might be set too high or not enough moisture in the room. I suggest changing the set point to a lower setting. Ashumiditydrops in the room the amount of water will decrease and very little water may be generated even when in continuous mode. If these basictroubleshootingtips prove ineffective, then your dehumidifier may possibly have system issues. Is your dehumidifier still in warranty? If so, you might want to reach out directly to the manufacturer to determine the coverage on your dehumidifier and the procedures to any potential remedy in that regard. Best!
