Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that you want to know how to measure the humidity in a room with your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FDL50R1. Typically, your appliance will not measure the humidity and tell you exactly what the level is. I suggest placing your dehumidifier in the room you want it in, and turning it on to the continuous mode. The display will show "CO". Leave it at this setting for the first 3-4 days. Once the 3-4 days has passed, I suggest setting it to the 50%, 60%, or 70% setting and change it to your liking. If it is more humid in the room than you would like, put the setting lower. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your washer status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

You have what Whirlpool calls a Type 3 Control Panel. If you don't have the unit operating in Continuous Mode, the fan will operate only, when the compressor turns on to extract the humidity, based on the level of extraction you have it set on. If you haven't already,.set the control on Maximum and Continuous Mode.

If that doesn't solve the problem, turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit for 15 minutes. After the time has elapsed plug the unit back in and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Hopefully, the 15 minute timeout, allowed the unit to reset itself and revert back to the original factory settings. If so, you can set the controls as you like.

To further assist you, I have an included a link to your Owner's Manual, in case you have misplaced your. You can download and print it for future reference.

I hope this helps you to further troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

There is some service that you can do ... Clean the filter and the cooling coils, regularly. Check the humidity level that you have the unit set on. It may be set to low and there's just not that much humidity in the air at this time, for it to collect. From what you said, it sounds like you may have it set on continuous cycle which could account for the lack of a lot of water in the bucket. In continuous run, the fan stays ON all the time. It's supposed to do that, so that the air is constantly moving and the sensor only turns the compressor ON, if it senses a humidity level 5% higher than what you have it set for. Try running the unit on a 1 or 2 hour cycle (if your model will do that) rather than continuous cycle.

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote that will help you understand why and what you can do with a dehumidifier that ices up.

Dehumidifier is Freezing up and not working

The unit may simply need to be reset. To do this, turn the Master ON/OF Switch to OFF. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and wait 12-15 minutes before plugging it back in. Turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON and the set the controls as you would like.

I will remind you, that operating in continuous mode, the dehumidifier will consume a lot of electricity and have little or no chance to cool off. Other than when the tank is full and needs to be emptied.

Hope this helped you to solve the problem.

E1 code for the primary humidity sensor behind right side grill. Unit MUST be unplugged from outlet. Take right side grill out, unplug sensor from wire socket and plug back. If no help, you need new sensor.

I have the same Danby unit and the same problem. When you take out the water bucket look inside and find the two holes where the water drips into the bucket. These holes are approximately 5/16" and 3/8" diameter. These holes need to be plugged. Your local hardware store has an assortment of specialized parts boxes. Find the box that contains "corks" of various sizes. They sell for about 20¢ apiece. I bought 5 within that size catagory and two of them worked! Problem solved.

Hi.
It is simple and easy to fix. E1 code for sensor behind right side grill. Take right side grill out, unplug sensor from wire socker and plug back. It is solve problem sometimes. Unit MUST be unplugged from outlet.
If no help, you need new sensor .

Thank you.

Calling two service centers, they both indicated that the main circuit board needed replacing. This would need shipping the unit!!, part and then labor. I figured over $120 - not reasonable. I then took the unit apart and followed the wires from the compressor to the back of the unit. This is where the moisture sensor was located - upper left. You'll see this when you take the filter off. Anyway, I cleaned the face of this part with a old toothbrush, used some compressed air to remove any dust. I then followed the wires with the black sleeve that went to what I think is a temperature sensor - also on the left. The wires go to a sensor that is pushed into a copper tube that is part of the cooling tubing. Gently pull this out, wipe it down and re-install. I then plugged the unit in, set the humidity level and it now works. I just put the unit back together and the compressor is turning on and collecting moisture! I will run it a few days and keep checking on it to make sure it doesn't go into the 'E3' Mode. By the way, the repair shops I called really didn't have a clue what the E3 code was. Dennis
