Just purchased Model LD651EBL - 65 pints. Followed instructions to operate/start but it will not start. Checked breakers and tried alternative plugs. Seems to be no power. What should I do?

Starting relay, capacitor bad.

the float switch above the tank might be stuck. or broken

According to the manual, this code, P1, means that it is in a defrost cycle. I now have the problem that my unit is in the P1 mode as often as it is in the dehumidification mode.

Let's start from the beginning. Turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF. Unplug the unit for 5 minutes. Then plug the unit back end, and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Now, lower the the humidity extraction level to 40%, by using the Arrow Down Button. You will need to lower it by pushing the button for each % setting. DO NOT push and hold the Arrow Down Button.

Doing the above should solve the problem.

Yes, there is a filter in it or it should be. Since you didn't say which model you have, it is in one of two places. Before attempting the filter removal turn the unit OFF and unplug it.

1. It can be accessed by removing the bucket and just inside the bucket holder at the top, behind the louvers on the front, you will see a tab type handle. This is the frame for the filter. Pull it down to remove the filter.

2. There will be what looks like a pull door on the right hand side of the unit, behind the louvers. Pulling straight out on that will remove the filter.

The filter can either be vacuumed to clean it or if it's really dirty, wash it in warm water & dish washing liquid. Rinse thoroughly and allow to completely dry, before reinstalling it. NEVER operate the unit without the filter installed, as it could cause damage to the unit.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

You definitely have an electrical short in the unit and should stop using immediately. Have it checked out by a licensed electrician. It is a very real fire hazzard.

Hi,
It could be a bad compressor, circuit board, or maybe even a sensor or dehumidistat...
Here is a tip about dehumidifiers that run but do not extract water from the air..

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket
