It could be several things, Not like changing a light bulb. If the fan's shot the unit will try to cycle, will stop, will click, will sit a little and everything starts over again...That's just one item...the easy one.. Because of it's age and other problems, I strongly suggest Goodwill, St. Vincent's. Home Depot right now, has a 5kw (small room 10x15 max.) for a hundred bucks. The old unit is bagged...time to go!
George, regular garden hose is what is generally used for continual drainage. Just don't exceed the maximum length of hose, that is listed in your Owners Manual.And, despite what they say about being able to pump water up thru abasement window, it really doesn't work that well. Unless the unit is right below the window,
Hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa.
Emma, your dehumidifier doesn't have a heater. I think you are confusing the Thermometer button as a heater. The Thermometer button is for setting the the ambient air temperature in the room, the unit is running in. It doesn't change the temperatue in the room one way or another. It's not necessary to set it, unless you're operating the dehumidifier in a basement. That's the only time it would affect the unit's performance.
It sounds like the unit should have came with a plug for the hole. You can probably obtain a plug from a home improvement or hardware store or even improvise one yourself. Also, make sure the unit is pitched so that the water actually runs towards the hose.
What sometimes causes that, is that the water collection bucket is not sitting in the unit properly/tightly. When the unit turns ON, the vibration causes the bucket to move and lose contact with bucket safety removal switch. Try removing the bucket and reinstalling so that the top and bttom of the bucket fit squarely into the holder and the bottom doesn't tilt downward.
Also, check the humidity extraction level. It may be set to high. Lower it to 32-35%.
Hope this helps you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.
It probably doesn't need adjusting, It's simply a case that 20%, there's not enough humidity for the sensor to read. But, at 35% there is. I'd say, your dehumidifier is working as it should. FYI - there is no adjustments to change the factory settings.
there is a switch in the upper part of the tray of water maybe you do not place it right when you bring it back.it should be turn on for your dehumidifier to work...if it is ok and it will not work still check the capacitor inside if defective commonly the value of it is 8 microfarad over 450 volts
