Goldstar Gold Star DH4010B 40 Pint Dehumidifier - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
The back is icing up,
there are a few things that could cause this. first check that if there are any filters, they are clean. next, check that the front coil is clean. you will have to open the case to check this. another thing that could cause this is the room temperature is too cool or possibly that the humidistat is up all the way in a cool room. if it is not any of these then a freon leak may have developed and the unit is low on freon charge. check all of these the let me know the results.

Is it ok to use
Of coarse it is. Many newer homes with energy efficient heating are built so tight that moisture from showers and cooking builds up to un-acceptable levels.

Goldstar dehumidifier model DH305Y6
I have a Goldstar dehumidifier, Model DH305Y6. I bought it about 5 years ago at a local Walmart. During the summer I run it in the basement, here in south-central Pa. When it was brand new it worked very well, for about 2 yrs. Then it began turning on & off very irregularly. At first I thought it was the sensor on the front of the coils. So I moved it to the lower left side of the coils, and had the same results. The other day the water heater in the basement developed a leak. About 300 gals. of water covered the floor. After sumping/wet-vac'ing down to a wet carpet, I pulled out the dehumidifier and plugged it in,(the filter was cleaned before put away last summer). It began its on/off cycling again. It runs for about 2-3 mins., then shuts off for about 5-10 mins. So, I took the On/Off switch apart and read the resistance. It read 48k, for the 50k switch. I turned the switch all the way left to all the way right and it went from 48k, down to about 8k. The two wires to the switch were attached to the #2 and #3 poles,(only 3 poles). I did some testing, then removed the wires and re-soldered them to the #1 and #3 poles. I put everything back together, and now it works. It runs constantly, but it works/runs just fine. I need to get the basement dry, so I will let it run until the job is done. In the Spring I will get a new 50k potentiometer,(on/off switch), and see if that works. I will post results if I remember to.

My Goldstar Dehumidifier keeps cutting off even
A few things you could try are to make sure the float isn't covered in gunk and moving sticky-like, make sure air filters are clean and the compressor isn't overheating, and make sure the humidistat (probably a knob that says drier with arrows) isn't turning the machine off because it's reached the set level.

Ice forms on the top of the dehumidifier.
normally the problem is either your evaporator is dirty or may be your systems isover charged,
you need a competent person to cean your systems and check gas pressures on the discharge and suction sde of your compressor.
