you can leave it turned off emptied in the unheated cottage. but i would not reccomend letting it run or stay with water in the tank. as water expand when it freezes. and will break the tank. also . dehumidifiers do nothing in freezing condition other than waste energy. so empty the tank and store it for the winter.
The first thing is to find out if there is a fan that runs next to the compressor. If not then in the summer the machine is overheating and passing the heat up to the machine itself thawing or preventing the freezer from operation properly
If your unit will be in an unheated house you should. There will always be some water in the drain line and the bottom of the tub. Most of the water in the tub will evaporator so it isn't a big concern, but the water in the drain line and drain pump is.
get a towel
take off the back wall
remove one of the pump hoses
id remove the front one since the back has a check valve
let the machine
drain and you should be fine
you can eith recoonect then or when you get back
no but it may not be there in the spring
they are easy to steel but any way just unplug it and it will be fine.. in the spring it might be dime when you first turn it on floresant tube will do that when they are cold
Extreme low temperature may effect the operation of the electronics, but unless you plan of using them in a freezing environment there will be no ill effects from the cold. These units are shipped in unheated trailers all over and routinely are exposed to freezing temperatures.
