SOURCE: Haier HDN655E unit runs but compressor won't kick in

use a jumper cord and go directly to the compressor to see if it will run. if it don't run, open up the motor box and see if there is a klixon overload inside. this should be normally closed. if it isn't replace it. the klixon is a thermal overload cutout. it usually trips because of high winding temperatures and protects the motor inside. the compressor is a hermetically sealed unit. no, or little freon will cause the motor to overheat.

SOURCE: LG LD65E humidity variance

Is the compressor running or is it just the fan? If its just the fan it is because it is cycling the air and it uses that air flow to check the humidity in the air. If the fan runs non-stop and the compressor does not turn on or the fan does not shut off there is a problem with this unit and you will need to replace it. Since it is brand new you should still be able to return it to the store.

SOURCE: no water in the bucket

You most likely have a freon leak, or the compressor is not running. When the machine first turns on you should be able to see if the compressor is running or if it is just the fan. If the compressor is not running it does have a start devise and a relay on it that can be replaced. If the compressor is bad, most units have a 5 year warranty on the compressor, so contact the manufacturer for warranty service. If the compressor is running you have a freon leak, and it would need to be found, repaired and the freon replaced. This is a large repair, estimated charge for a leak repair would be around $149.99 The reason is the long time it takes to find the leak, and all the parts needed. Drier, valve, freon, etc.. Good luck, and I hope it is only the relay. You can get those relitively inexpencively. 3 in 1 kits are also good for a hard to start compressor. They give the compressor a little more kick to start it. They are about $28.00 and easy to install once you are to the compressor. I hope this will FixYa.

, My KM30 Dehumidifier t'stat will not reognise ambient humidity properly. I placed the unit in my boat-steamy 80% humidity at 50%. it consistently turned itself off. Ok on 35 and Lo.

there is a sensor in the unit much like a temp sensor, (bullet shape) over time these do ware out and need to be replaced this tell the unit the temp so the unit knows humidity. it could also just need cleaning as a build up of damp then dry dust can cover the sensor.

Followed turn on instructions in manual.CO display 2 days. continually. Unit gets Very warm & fan runs if turned off. Have to unplug to stop. Unit used approx.3 mo in '14 & just restartd this week.

could you be mistaking the room humidity indicator for the time? reason I ask is on these one display units this happens more frequently than Id care it too , the one display shows both time and room humidity also set point humidity , the only way one can tell is on some models there is a tiny light that shows up next to labeled function , easy to miss It , also if your machine is sort of new (last few years) it has been decided that it's more efficient to let the circulation fan run all the time , regardless of room humidity . this makes it a little annoying (noise) but they do cycle the compressor to regulate the room humidity

Why won't my Frigidaire FDF50S1 humidifier maintain its settings?

Hey Art Miner, thank you for your post!

I understand that your dehumidifier is not operating properly. You should put it on a continuous drain mode to see if it will continue to pull moisture. Could you please provide feedback to what your appliance is doing once set to a continuous drain? -Matt

Why has it stopped running, but still shows temp and humidity?

I may have reached the humidity level that you have set it at. Press the HUMIDITY button until it says "Lo". That should put you into continuous run mode.
Good Luck.

Unir ran good for 8 months then cut off with current humidity reading LO. Humidity is not LO. Have to set below 40% then runs all the time. The AUTO humidistat sensor must be broke. 1 year...

In addition to a faulty humidistat sensor, there are 5 basic, yet solvable reasons for what you described. Please pay particular attention to numbers 1 & 2.

1. The humidity extraction level is set to HIGH. Lower it to 32-35%.

2. Air intake filter is dirty or clogged. Turn unit OFF, & Unplug the
Unit, before removing to inspect & clean it, if necessary. If washed,
allow filter to completely dry before reinstalling. DO NOT operate
the unit without the filter.

3. Obstructed air flow. Maintain a minimum of 12 to 18" of clear air
space around the entire unit.

4. Cooling coils are dirty and need to be cleaned. Use warm water & dish washing liquid to
clean the coils. Rinse and wipe dry. Apply a light coating of WD40 to the coils.

5. Ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 - 60 degrees.
dehumidifiers do not work well between those temperatures
(Unless, you have a Low Temp Unit). This applies mainly to
where the air temperature at floor level is colder than at shoulder level
in basement applications. Raising the unit up off the floor,
onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight
of the unit, plus a full tank of water, will usually resolve this
problem.

If none of the above solves the problem, contact Haier Customer Support
1-877-337-3639, before your warranty expires.Haier units will generally show an E1 code if a sensor or circuit is faulty and unit will not run at all.

I hope this helped you troubleshoot & solve the problem

WE have a model DE45EJ - T. The humidifer is not pulling in anything or making any noise or doing anything at all. It says Lo in the bottom reading.

The "LO" in the bottom reading, Indicates the current humidity extraction setting. If the unit was operating properly not that long ago (A couple of hours), the reason it is not doing anything, maybe that there is no humidity above "LO" = 30% at this time. Once it the humidity level rises above 30%, it should turn ON and function normally.

Also, was the timer set to turn the unit OFF at a specific time?

If the unit wasn't working properly a couple of hours ago.

Check the air intake filter for excessive dirt or clogs. Turn the unit OFF & unplug it before removing the filter. While the unit is OFF, remove the bucket, empty it if needed and carefully replace i, making sure it is fitted properly in to it's holder.

Air obstruction: The dehumidifier requires an minimum of 12" to 18" clear air space around the entire unit.

Hope this has helped you further troubleshoot and solve the problem. To assist you further, in case you have misplaced yours, I am including a link to your Owner's Manual that you can download and print for future reference. http://www.haieramerica.com/en/asset/product/4ba7175e54

THE UNIT DOES NOT DEHUMIDIFY, MODEL HD456E, I SET THE TEMPERATURE TO 50 AND IT ALWAYS SHOWS THE WORD "LO" AND WILL NOT RUN, UNIT HAS LESS THAN 200 HRS. WHAT DO I DO? unit was purchased at menards...

You are setting the temperature to low. Dehumidifiers do not work well between 40 - 60 degrees F. That's why the word "LO" keeps showing up. Raise the temperature setting and set the humidity extraction level (Arrow Down) at 30-32%. In fact, if you can disregard the temperature setting and the unit will work, do so. That seems to be the fly in the ointment, when it comes to getting everything to work as it should.

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

My dehumidifier compressor runs and then shuts off, then runs and shuts off, continuously. The fan continues to run. It seems to be pulling water, though it's hard to tell how much because I have a...

Part of the problem may be that you have the humidity level set to high. The fan runs constantly to move the air around. When the unit senses a humidity level higher than what you have it set for, the compressor turns ON. Once it's ON, if the humidity level is short lived, it turns OFF.

Try setting the humidity level to the lowest possible setting. Usually, that 45%. If the humidity level in you home is higher than that, the compressor should turn ON and run until either the bucket is full or the humidity level reaches 45%. If this doesn't solve the problem, turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit from the wall outlet for 12-15 minutes. Plug the unit bakc in, turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON and set the humidity level at it's lowest setting. Allow the unit to run until it cuts OFF and check the bucket for water. Hopefully that 12-15 minute time out allowed the unit to reset itself.

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