Shut the power off to the unit, spin the fan blade to see if it spins freely. If it doesn't spin freely, (there appears to be a little drag when you spin it),the bearings are bad, if it does spin freely, then try moving the motor shaft from side to side if there’s any play in the shaft side to side then the bearings are worn and motor needs replaced. Then, check the capacitor, if it’s bulging even slightly, the capacitor is bad and needs replaced. Most of the time people replace the capacitor if motor seems ok. If capacitor is ok, turn power on to see if the motor is getting the proper voltage, if it is and not trying to run, then the windings are probably open, the motor's bad and needs replaced.

My Fedders Dehumidifier A7DH45B2A*A-R 45Quart, works great but it leaks from the bottom of the unit! I've checked for cracks in the bucket but its fine and collects water too but the unit still leaks:( Everything else is fine with the unit but this. What is going on here? It worked without any leaks for a couple of years and now this! And how do I fix this problem?

I have a Fedders A7DH65B2A dehumidifier and it has worked fine for a couple of years. In the last month it shut off and now won't power up. When plugged in, the control panel will not even light up. Seems totally dead. Do you have any adice? Is there a fuse on the unit? Please advise.
