a change in tone of the noise from a working unit indicates to me that a bit of dust/dirt has built up on the internal fans blades and has caused a imbalance in the fan now , this usually requires a complete disassembly and cleaning out to remedy
I would guess that some rubber anti-vibration mounts have aged. If so this may allow the cooling fan to move and grate on the fan housing. It is unusual for the hermetic compressor to give trouble but having just said that, on rare occasions the big-end bearing can fail. This would cause a very obvious knocking noise coming from the compressor. Its just a case of carefully opening up the dehumidifier housing and looking to see what is happening. As an aide-memoire one can tape all the screws to a piece of cardboard adding notes as to where they came from. Take care and good luck!
I understand the fan is not running on your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# LAD504TDL. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Sometimes there can be a miscommunication between the different boards inside your appliance. Restore power and listen for the fan to come on. 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 appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

With the unit unplugged, open the cover and check the alignment of the
fan. If the fan is stuck or rubbing against the fan cowling, adjust the
fan motor's mounting hardware so that the fan turns freely.
These can be noisy.
Does the noise only happen when the compressor runs? These compressors float on rubber bushings to isolate the vibrations and maybe one of the three nuts on the mounting studs may be loose.
The fan bearings can also wear out.
Hi,
This noise is the vibration from the compressor...sometimes things can come loose and magnify the noise...check for loose parts and tighten as needed...
The compressor may also be going bad...
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier.
