DEHUMIDIFIER TURNS ON PUT HUMMES AND TOP GETS HOT--SEEMS LIKE COMPRESSER DOESN'T KICK IN- ARE THE TWO CIRCUIT BOARD PARTS TO BE CONNECTED INSIDE ???? MINE WEREN'T WHEN I TOOK OFF FRONT CASE

I'd suggest you (1) make sure dehumifier is plugged in, (2) the circuit it's connected to is live (breaker not tripped and fuse not blown - this is easily tested by plugging in an appliance (e.g., hair dryer) you know works). If the unit turns on, it is likely defective - unless there is a hose connected to the dehumidifier that reroutes the water removed from the air to a drain (is there moisture collecting somewhere within 6-10' of the unit?). If it doesn't turn on, and you've troubleshooted the above to ensure there is electricity to the receptacle, then it's either defective or the moisture setting for removal needs to be adjusted for the humidity in your basement. Perhaps it's dryer down there than you thought, or your hygrostat (? - whatever the doohickey is called that senses humidity level) is set at too high a level that it never turns on/trips in your area. Hope it helps.

Don't run the compressor for any length of time without the fan operating. Is it possible that the fan must be replaced? Can you power the fan safely to test it?

Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier willnot work or collect water.

It may not be setting on a level floor or the hardwood flooring or tile flooring is allowing it to vibrate more than it normally should. Also, remove the air intake filter to make sure it's clean.

Hope this helped you, Kathy. Please let me know. Thanks.

It could be what you say or it could be that the humidification extraction level is set too High. Try lowering the extraction percentage to 32 - 35%.

If that doesn't help and you'd like to order replacement control board/panel. Call Haier Parts and Technical Support 877-337-3639. But, you may find it cheaper to replace the unit, then repair it.

Hi, Yes. I would say that your compressor is dead...

It probably doesn't need adjusting, It's simply a case that 20%, there's not enough humidity for the sensor to read. But, at 35% there is. I'd say, your dehumidifier is working as it should.
FYI - there is no adjustments to change the factory settings.

Hope this helped you, chu.

Same problem, I cleaned the filter etc. seems to run ok, but gets very hot on the top and sometimes smells hot. No signs of burning etc.
