I have a DDE50E delonghi dehumidifer. I am using it to dry out my car interior after the sunroof was left open in a storm. The unit works and collects water but shuts off frequently. What settings should I have the unit on and should it be shutting off so often? Thank you for your help, Terri Miller

Not sure. Might have a blown fuse or bad capacitor. Here are some DIY steps:

Drips from where?
Find the source of the drip and seal it with rubber or waterproof tape.
If there is no pressure at the leak, this should cure it.
If you have trouble locating the leak, dry off everything and operate the
dehumidifier while you watch for the appearance of the moisture. Where
it first appears is probably the leaking location.

On a dehumidifer, you set the relative humidity, not temperature. Normally the humidity should be set within 40 to 60 percent humidity.

Hi,

Might it be that the unit simply needs a full thorough cleaning including the tiny spaces between fins? Dust can gather and block air passage on many of the components of a dehumidifier not only on the filter. in some extreme cases, the unit could be undercharged (insufficient) coolant. A service shop engaged in the business of cleaning and repairing air conditioners should also be able to work on your unit.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

It is now frozen because the humidistat, which controls the on/off cycle, is starting to age and forgetting to turn off the dehumidifier. Try removing the humidistat and, using compressed air, blow it out thoroughly of any dust. Then spray the rotary control area, including electrical parts, with WD-40. Then, blow dry again with the compressor and try again.

expected? of course! this is not ur solution try draining all the water to the sewerage if u cant try to pump it out with a vacuum cleaner (that can pump water) or a pump then turn on the Dehumidifier every time it frosts turn it off untill it defrosts or u can heat up the basement with a bellower and the Dehumidifier wont frost
