I just purchased a new Haier 65 pint dehumidifier and inside on the bottom of the unit, it is covered in oil. Of course the unit is not functioning (it runs but is not removing any water).

There is a review website that claims the unit draws 590 watts. The refrigerant this one uses is R-134a.

Haier 45 Pint Dehumidifier Review

A slightly larger unit is also available from Haier, the DE65EJ that uses R-410a, which is a more efficient refrigerant and allows the unit to be perhaps 20% more efficient. That larger unit is rated for 65 pints a day, and uses 710 watts. It is a bit heavier than the DE45EJ also.

Go to Http://www.Haier.com/us/products/home-comfort/dehumidifiers . Select the model number and proceed to the Manual. Download the manual and look at the E-Codes to solve your problem.

Turn the ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit for 15 minutes.
Once the time has elapsed, plug the unit in and turn the unit ON.

Hopefully, during that 15 minute timeout, the electronics reset and reverted back to the original factory settings. And the unit will turn ON when you press the ON/OFF Switch.

It's also a good idea to check the outlet it's plugged into. It very well could be an issue with the outlet (no power) or the circuit breaker for that outlet has tripped.

If you continue to have a problem getting it started, contact LG Customer Support 1-800-243-0000.

To find the Annual Energy Cost, look in the Owner's Manual or other paper work that came with the unit. The Energy Star rating paper work will have that information. However, that cost does not include routine maintenance cost or any repairs that may arise from running the unit constantly for 360 days. Sounds like you'll be running it in a damp basement.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Let's start from the beginning. Turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF. Unplug the unit for 5 minutes. Then plug the unit back end, and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Now, lower the the humidity extraction level to 40%, by using the Arrow Down Button. You will need to lower it by pushing the button for each % setting. DO NOT push and hold the Arrow Down Button.

Doing the above should solve the problem.

its field with water, empty

I believe that this unit has a permanent filter, and can not be removed to clean. You should however be able to access it to clean it. Hope that helps!

Won't any water bucket do ? But try here
