LG Dehumidifier Here is a strange problem! The dehumifier worked great for about a year and than went crazy. The unit will run for five minutes or so and then dies for a few seconds and then restarts. When it dies, the lights on the same circuit go almost out (dead short????)and then come back "on". The unit then runs for another 5 minutes and then repeats the cycle. I turned the humidstat so that the unit was always "on" to eliminate any question of the controls being screwed up. Still does it! When I first bought the unit, I had it plugged into a heavy duty (industrial- 20 amp) extension cord and one day the found the socket to be burned out. At the time I thought it was a problem with the cord so I changed it and had no further problem until now. Can this unit be saved? Fearing a fire, I have unplugged it.

I just bought a dehumidifier lhd65Ebly7 this weekend at Big Lots. I ran it for two days, and emptied the tank when the light said full. Today, I removed the tank before it was full and think I hit the full button doing it. When I replaced the tank the motor did not start. The display shows two bars on each but the motor does not start. I tried unpugging the unit and let it sit for a while to see if the circuit would reset but when I replugged it there was no change in response. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CONTROL CIRCUITS have failed. I tried to push all of the buttons (one at a time) to get a change on the display bu nothing happened. If there is a fix please e-mail me me. If there is none I will return it to Big Lots for a refund.

Sincerely

Almost the same problem, My lights dim slightly only when the unit compressor starts back up which I think could be normal. I thought it might be in the electronics vs. the electrical.

The unit will draw water out of the air ok, but it needs to be off for a while before it resets itself. maybe this is normal cycling to avoid freeze-up? I don't know. Sometimes starts consistently at the same HUmidity setting sometimes not Almost the same problem, My lights dim slightly only when the unit compressor starts back up which I think could be normal.
