Just bought a brand new Frigidaire 50 pint dehumidifier. As waited 2 hours before plugging it up and when I did I got a ES error, the unit runs but the display flashes between "CO" and "ES". Wondering if there is something I can do, or should I just take it back to the store?

Read the instruction manual thoroughly and ensure you did everything exactly. If it still doesn't work it is faulty and should be returned.

You can test it out by disconnecting the power cord, wait five minutes and plug it back in. If it retains the original settings you are good to go. If you are wondering before purchasing a new unit ask before you buy.

SOURCE: 50 pint dehumidifier has drain hose connected but

safety switch is turning off the dehumidifier....you need to drain out the bucket more often....or put the drain hose into an actual drain....ive seen some people run a small plastic hose from the dehumidifier to the sump pump hole in their basement.

I have a Frigidaire LAD504TDL dehumidifier and code 'ES' shows on display. What does this code mean? Unit runs but not much water in tank.

Good Morning Mark, thank you for your post!

I see that your Frigidaire dehumidifier is displaying an error code of "ES" and you would like to the meaning of that error code. The "ES" error code stands for evaporator thermistor error. This could be a possible problem with your control panel, thermistor, or a wiring harness. I would recommend contacting your manufacturer for further assistance with your dehumidifier. Best of luck! -Matt

Frigidaire dehumidifier brand new will not start.

Hello Diane Weber, thank you for your inquiry!
I see that you have recently purchased a Frigidaire dehumidifier and the display is not working properly. When you returned the original appliance did they test it in store to see if it worked? Are you using any type of extension cord or surge protector on the appliance? With this additional information I can better assist you. -Matt

Why does blower wheel stop on Frigidaire dehumdifier?

Good Afternoon Desi,

I understand that the blower wheel is not spinning on your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FAD504DUD. I also see that the compressor will stay on unless the dehumidifier is unplugged. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for further assistance. They can possibly clarify why the compressor stays on and why the blower fan is not working. If not, they should at least be able to point you in the right direction of having your dehumidifier working. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Why does blower wheel stop on Frigidaire dehumidifier after 2 minutes?

First, I'm not a Frigidaire tech.
* Check your warranty. Call for service.
* Contact (note Live Chat link); https://www.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Contact-Us/
*** following is for information only ***
* Check by setting to "Driest" or max setting. It should stay on longer.. If not then there may be a problem with the air sensor. Call for service.
* If the compressor keeps turning on and off every 2 mins then it may be "short cycling". Call for service.
* Be sure to check the tub and filter (make sure they are seated properly.)

Power lose

I have a 45 pint. I have to slide the bucket in and out of the unit multiple times. Make sure to wait a few seconds after each time to see if it will recognize no water (sometimes the red light comes on, but then changes it mind). Also, I've found that leaving the bucket a little crooked will make it respond. It sucks, I know. Mine is only a year old too. Should not be a problem like this!
