I have the Soleus CFM-25 and it sits in an 10x4 laundry/furnance room. I only use the dehumidifier when the dryer is going because that small room gets warm. It was working fine up until a month ago when I turned it on and after 10 hours there was no water in the bucket. Air blows on top, but no water seems to collect in the bucket. How can I fix this problem? Keep in mind there are 4 philip screws in the back, and two diff kind of screws I've never seen before in my life. So no idea how to take this apart if I wanted to.
If you can verify that the compressor motor is actually turning, then the problem is either a freon leak or a worn out compressor. if it is not turning, then the problem is either a damaged motor or motor is not getting voltage--need testing with meter to determine why. cheaper in long run to buy a new unit if bad compressor or motor or freon fill, but a fill may be only temporary if leak persists.

Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier

Thank you for letting me know. I just can't believe I paid almost $200 for this unit a year ago.
Hey, thanks again!
Have a great day.
