i don't know. on my generic unit, mine won't start untill i reseat my bucket.

Good Morning friend, thank you for your inquiry!
I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire dehumidifier displaying an error code of "F2". Typically, an "F2" error code stands for a miscommunication error. This could be a possible problem with a sensor or control panel. I would suggest performing a reset and that can be completed by disconnecting the power from your dehumidifier for roughly ten minutes. If you are still under warranty I would recommend contacting your manufacturer to see if any additional assistance can be provided. Hopefully this is helpful. -Matt

Hello Jackie Grier, I appreciate your post!

I understand that the filter reset button is not working on your Frigidaire dehumidifier. I would perform a reset to your dehumidifier which can be done by disconnecting power from it for roughly ten minutes, you can do that can be done by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker.

If that does not correct the issue it sounds like a possible problem with your control panel or sensor. Are you under warranty? If so I would reach out to your manufacture to see if they have any potential remedy for assistance. I hope this helps. -Matt

Error Code '1' indicates that the air intake filter needs to be removed and thoroughly cleaned. be sure to turn the unit OFF and unplug it, before removing the filter. Never operate the unit without the filter in place. Doing so, could cause damage to the unit.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

CH 01 usually indicates that the filter is dirty and needs to be removed and cleaned. Turn the unit OFF and unplug it, before removing the filter. Never operate the unit without the filter in place.

We;ve managed to clear this error, at least for the last 5 days. Remove the bucket, and reach up behind the front panel where there is a filter- ours was covered in dust. After cleaning this off, and resetting the machine (by pulling the electric plug out and re-inserting), the error went away.
Your mileage may vary.

E2 Indicates that the filter needs to be removed and cleaned. It's a good idea to clean the filter at least once every 2 weeks, as standard routine maintenance. Be sure to turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit, before removing and cleaning the filter. You can access the filter by pulling on the filter frame handle on the right side of the unit, behind the front louvers. You can either vacuum the filter or wash it in warm soapy water (dish washing detergent), rinse it and dry it thoroughly, before reinstalling it. A hand held hair dryer will dry it pretty fast.

Hope this helped you to solve the problem.

If you unplugged the heater for 12-15 minutes, after turning OFF the Master On/OFF Switch, the electronics should reset themselves. Also, be sure that you don't have the humidity level set to high. Anything above 60% wont' extract any moisture to speak of. If your unit doesn't have an LED display, set the unit on Minimum.

Hope this helps you. Please let me know. Thanks.

there is a switch that when you put the pale back in the right way if the pale is not in all the way it is a kill switch so no water goes on your floor

Danby's Consumer Help Line (1-800-263-2629) is always busy. So, I called their General number: 419-425-8627. The receptionist transferred my call to their Service dept. My call was answered in 2 minutes.

The Service Rep. described the following code for my dehumidifier model (DDR657EE):
P1 = Defrosting: the unit will go into Defrost mode periodically to ensure that the parts are working at the right operating temperature. It should be in Defrost (P1) mode for only a brief period of time. If the unit is in Defrost (P1) mode continuously for a couple of hours (or more), then you should call Danby Service for further assistance.

He had no documentation of a P2 code for my model.

He also described other General Codes (applicable to most Dehumidifier/Humidifier models):
E1 = Not enough water
E2 = Not draining
E3 = Water temperature too cool
E4 = Overflow Switch activated
E6 / E7 = Problem with Temperature Sensor

I hope that helps.
