Why wont the fan on my Kenmore Dehumidifiermodel #25350650000 run?

yes if its less than two years old the new ones run the fan all the time and cycle the compressor off humidity of room , the fans even have speeds on some models so you can turn em down

Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

It's probably a common problem with these models: the fan motor causing a thermal cut off fuse to blow. I have the same problem. See this link on another site: http://forum.doityourself.com/humidifiers-dehumidifiers/177549-kenmore-dehumidifier-fan-stopped.html

Is it not powering at all? Remove cabinet and check glass fuse on power supply board

Is it running but no water?
Check to see if fan is blowing; if not then thermosenser on fan motor blown

Fan and compressor running but no water? Maybe the room is already dry; if not than probably have coolant leak - not worth fixing

you may have a stripped out fan unit, the fan motor runs, but the fan does not spin? my fan was plastic and stripped out there should be a flat spot the lines up with shafton motor ifit is round your should replace fan blade unit. i could not find one so i pushed tooth picks in between shaft an fan and glued them has worked for a couple months now

sounds like the compressor is seized.

It might be the thermolink on the fan motor.

My Kenmore had the problem of the fan running, but not the compressor. The compressor overload part was bad.

sounds like the fan motor is bad most are not repairable new ones about 50$ dan
