Fan not operating, believe the mother board needs replacement, where could I purchase one for Amcor Dehumidifier Model # AHD-65E

https://www.google.com/search?q=Amcor+D250+Dehumidifier+manual&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS757US757&oq=Amcor+D250+Dehumidifier+manual&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30i457.5311j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

This can typically be caused by two items, low refrigeration gas or insufficient air flow. I would shut the unit down, unplug it and let it set for a day to thaw out. Clean all the air passages and replace the filter. Plug it in and turn it back on. If it continues to freeze you probably have either low refrigeration gas or a fan that is not operating properly.

That is simple to resolve, go to: http://www.edocr.com/doc/8/amcor-dc800-dehumidifier-operating-manual and download it.

Depending on which mode you have the unit set on, will determine if it shots OFF entirely or the fan continues to run. In the Constant or Continual mode, the compressor will turn OFF, once the humidity extraction level has been reached. But, the fan will continue to operate, in an effort to keep the air circulating, so that if the humidity level rises, the compressor will turn ON and start extracting again.

In Timed Mode (usually 2 hour or 4 hour) , when the compressor turns OFF the fan does too.

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

I have a Amcor DC830H and have lost the operating instructions . Could you please inform me as to what lights should be showing when using the dehumidifier part. Thank you

Hi,

There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.

Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

Take it out, and search the part number on line, they are bout $40 with s/h. however my current discovery:
It made no sense to me that despite no visual issues, the fan motor is bad. So, with further research it turns out that the true culprit is the small thermistor/thermal fuse between the orange wire (ground) and motor winding wire. The thermistor is taped underneath the silver aluminium and yellow tape on the fan motor. I heard about this bad (open/no continuity) thermistor makes almost >99% of the fan motor problem regardless of any brand name because this cheap c-fram fan motor is NOT made in USA. I opened the motor, there is a silver (aluminum wrap) around the windings for the motor that needs to be cut. Careful not to cut the motor windings. Inside there is a thermistor or type of temperature sensor connected between the orange wire and a motor winding wire. On my motor this was no longer working.
The part marked "JET 123 NM1 2A 130C" is a thermal fuse. The 130C is the temperature rating. When the motor get hot (130C / 265F) the fuse opens. The circuit is broken and the motor stops.

The motor is still good. The fuse is blown. It must be replaced to get the motor running again. You could bypass the fuse but then you invite a fire hazard.

A replacement fuse is available from Digi-Key. It is a Cantherm SDJ1 DF128S (128C):

Part cost 98 cents

You might want to go with the next higher temp (141C):

it is not extracting water

the thermal break is there for a reason, the motor has overheated, if this was due to a towel or other item covering the unit great remove the the obstruction and replace the thermal break. however the major cause is that the bearings have dried up on the motor and it has started to seize, which means replacement.
