Question about Fedders R6DH45X Dehumidifier

Dehumidifer quit working

Our dehumidifier worked well for about 3 years and now it seems to have quit. We had used the regular bin that came with it and had to empty the water every 24 hours but my husband recently put on a hose to drain the water. We also have two other dehumidifiers working in other rooms in our basement and they are still pulling off alot of water every 24 hours so I don't think that it is a change in the humidity in the air. Any suggestions?

Our Fedders unit is about 3 yrs old, no matter how long it runs, it will run steady but, not draw any water. We would appreciate any feedback that you can supply.

This is my 4th summer with this unit. It quit working in June with a bad smell almost like something was burning. The unit also became extremely noisy. Lots of corrosion inside but nothing obviously wrong. any suggestions?

Same problem 3yrs old.....runs forever, but no water collects. Back of unit is hot. They claim to have a 5 yr compressor warranty, but I will very surprised if they honor it. (

Our dehumidifier is about 2-3 yrs new and like other comments made about this particular model,it will run continuously but never any water collected . We have a completely finished basement w/drywall, carpet and all. We're concerned about moisture damage,being that we cant afford to fork out more$$$ for a new dehumidifier. No clue what the problem is!!

No water collects but runs constantly. We bought ours about a year ago and we called to see what we could do and Fedder said they were being bought out by another company so there wasn't anything we could do.

Looks like I am in the same boat as all of you. Identical issue with the A7DH45B2A model.
Bad compressor?

My dehumidiyer fan runs, condensor seems to work but the coils do not get cold so thus no condensation. what can i do to get my humidiyer working?

typical for most brands of dehumidifiers.after 2-3 years use the refrigerant/freon leaks out and they wont cool,you can have it recharged,but quite expensive as i charge between $50.00 to $75.00 to do this

Maytag Dehumidifer still works, but is leaking

Well life span is 3-15 years depends how long and hard you run them. 45 pint is about 1000sqft basment. rule of thumbs bigger better. run less and do a better job. I would start by filling the bucket and place in a dry shower see if you have a crack. cant find a source for the bucket discontinued this might be your problem. http://www.repairclinic.com/SSPartDetail.aspx?s=t-M7DH45B2A-%3d%3di1025984&PartID=1025984 Repair cost are about 40-50 and hour!!!! good luck

Same Problems as Everyone Else

I have a Danby DDR 458EE dehumidifer that I purchased May 27, 2008.
Used it for the summer and stored it until May this year. At the end of July of this year it started not working. It freezes up. Called Danby, they told me it was out of warrenty and to take to a repair shop. Problem being it was leaking freon so have it recharged. Called the repair shop and they explained that it is a closed system and if it is leaking Freon, they can not recharge it until the leak is found and repaired. It's against the law to discharge freon in to the atmosphere. Stated cost to repair it would be greater then buying a new one. Called Danby back and explained what repair person said. Still waiting to see if they will give me a pro-rated refund.

Dehumidifier does not collect water.

If your dehumidifier doesn't seem to run often but the humidity in the room is high, try adjusting the humidistat control on the dehumidifier to a dryer setting. If the dehumidifier seems to run constantly, but there's little or no water in the container, there may be a problem in the refrigeration system. Try cleaning the unit. If that doesn't work, you can't repair the refrigeration system yourself, you need a qualified appliance repair technician to do that.

Hope that helps! Should you have any further questions, please feel free to post them here.

P.S. - If you find that the solution/answer I provided led you to, or resulted in a fix, please close the ticket with a FixYa! rating. I would be very grateful for your show of appreciation.
