Hello, My name is Josh. I have a Goldstar de-humidifier in my crawl space. The area is roughly 600 sq. ft. . I have never had this problem before but it seems the de-humidifier will turn on but won't pull moisture from the air. It also doesn't seem to be as loud as it was. When I turn the Drier knob past #3 the fan comes on but I don't hear what I assume is the sound of the condenser. I checked the interlock which works. It registers the resevoir but aside from that I'm afraid thats as far as I got. I also tested it on high and low fan settings. If you get a chance maybe you can toss me an idea or two. Thanks so much
I have the same problem. Compressor doesn't turn on, but the fan runs, no matter how high I set it... it doesn't pull moisture from the air.

the same problem. Turn on for days and nop in the bucket.
I have a very similar issue. Mine turns on and works for about 5 minutes. The coils seem to be frosting up. After this the compressor shuts off and only the fan runs continious. If I unplug it and replug it, the same cyle occurs.
Everything appears fine, wire connectors good, blew out all of the coils, etc... The compressor does appear to be very hot?
