Dehumidifier will not collect water - Maytag M3DH30B2A Dehumidifier

SOURCE: 2 dehumidifiers in the same room set to 35%

It could be bad or is could bee full of dirt and dust. Try cleaning it with a vacuum or a soft brush

Unless the water level sensor is not working and you have the humidity setting low enough to call the fan should be running. If not then check water level sensor or float control to make sure they are working. Make sure the float is free to move if so equipped.If not clean and free up float.I would turn control dial up all the way and see if you can hear it trying to run. Turn it up and down several times.Also if you have a volt meter check to make sure you have incoming power to control and fan motor. Before I spent the money on a new motor I would bypass control and wire straight to motor.Try to isolate problem by process of elimination instead of just replacing parts till you find the right one. I have done this to many times and ended up spending more in parts and alot more in frustration,then the unit was worth to start with. Thank you.

SOURCE: a challenge dehumidifier not collecting water

Hi, Just came across this post and although it is an old one, someone else may have the same problem. We too have a Challenge 4151319 which seemed to be running fine but did not collect water. We found out (by accident) that by raising the back edge by 1" the dehumidifier works fine. We initially placed a book under back edge to tip it forward slightly but eventually replaced this with a piece of wood. Hi Tech! In this position it collects water as it should - just looks a little odd!
