Turn the unit OFF & unplug it. Remove the water collection bucket and set aside. At the top of the bucket holder, just behind the louvers you should see a plastic pull tab, which is part of the filter frame. If you have never removed the filter before, there may be a piece of plastic tape on the filter frame. It was put there for shipping. Remove and discard it. Pull straight down on the plastic tab and remove the filter. It can be cleaned by vacuuming it or if it's really dirty, wash it in with warm water and mild dish washing liquid. Rinse thoroughly, shake off access water and allow to completely dry, before reinstalling it. Never operate the unit without the filter in place, as doing so could cause damage to the unit. The filter should be removed and cleaned once every two weeks.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Can the grill of a 70 pint Frigidaire be removed to clean the coil?

With your unit switched off, vacuum them with a brush attachment. If still dirty, you can spray with a degreasant spray and then gently rinse with a towel under the coils. Dry with a hair dryer. That is how refrigeration techs do it.

I have a FDL70S1 Frigidaire 70 pint dehumidifier and need to clean the filter. I've lost my manual. So how I get at the filter? Thanks Glenn

First, I'm not a Frigidaire tech.
* Check your warranty. Call for service.
* Contact (note Live Chat link); https://www.frigidaire.com/Search-Results/?q=dehumidifier
*** The following is for information only ***
* Note that this filter is a "wash - Reuse" and is probably considered a "Part" and not a consumable.
* Filter (check if this will fit); https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-5304487154-Dehumidifier-Filter-Unit/dp/B00PU1V4M2/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1531339454&sr=1-1&keywords=frigidaire+fad704dwd+filter&dpID=61e1c6OA6UL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

* Correcting "Bucket Full" Error; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzGnUG3r8dU
* Review (includes using a hose drain); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAKN--TgQRI
* If your missing this filter then contact the local Frigidare or Appliance store for a replacement.
* Final; check your warranty. The filter may be covered.

I am putting it on a platform so it will drain into my sink trap. how do i take off the casters so it will sit with stability?

Thank you for your post, Lee!

From the information you have provided you with like to take the caster wheels off in order to allow stability to your Frigidaire dehumidifier. We would not recommend removing the caster wheels. I hope this is helpful and if you should need further assistance please feel free to reconnect. -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 Frigidaire dehumidifier send water outside bucket?

Good Afternoon Jean,

I understand that your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FAD704DWD, is putting the water that it collects out onto the floor as oppose to the bucket. I suggest contacting the manufacturer for more information. They should be able to point you in the right direction for assistance. Hope this is helpful.

How do I change the filter? Frigidaire 70 pint. I bought one with no manual from Lowe's.

Here's a link to your missing Owner's Manual. Look under the section Care & Cleaning on how to remove the filter. This manual will prove invaluable to you. So download & print it for future reference.
