I have a whirlpool AD50USV, when I turn it on it just beeps, I can cycle through the settings and they light up but nothing works

Hi, Consumer. We're sorry to hear about the difficulty with your Dehumidifier. Below are links to our Use & Care guides, Parts Diagrams, Troubleshooting information and the Service are of our website. We hope this helps! http://bit.ly/112Lu7q

1st ck that the bucket full light is not on , reguardless if bucket is m/t and in place , if light is on then the float sensor inside bucket container needs looked at , if no light is seen then it's common on new units to run the circulation fan all the time , and cycle the compressor on the humidistat's setting , reverify what the settings are for your room , std setting is 70%rH for a home , also a seperate meter to indicate %rh might help to determine if your unit is working properly (there not expensive) it migtht be that your room is dry enough and unit is not calling for water removal

sounds like your hose is blocked try taking it off and cleaning it out

What has happened is the the tubing that fills the bucket is clogged. To solve this, first turn the unit OFF & Unplug it. Then, remove the water collection bucket and look up inside the bucket holder cavity. You will see either a drain hole or small tubing that drains the water into the bucket. Using an appropriately sized, 18" long, plastic Zip Tie, carefully insert the tip of Zip Tie into the hole or tubing. Continue to push it in until you reach a bend in the tubing. You will need to gingerly work the Zip Tie past this bend, until it either bottoms out or you run out of usable Zip Tie. Then slowly pull the Zip Tie back out while rotating (twisting) it. This will breakup any clogs. As you reach the inserted end of the Zip Tie, be prepared, as some water may follow. Reinstall the bucket, plug the unit in and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Set the humidity extraction level to 35% or Maximum if you have a manually controlled unit. Allow the unit to run, while you monitor it for any leakage.

NOTE: If you don't have a Zip Tie, you may use something similar ( i.e.a long pipe cleaner), but NO wire coat hangers

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

Try lowering to humidity extraction level to 35%. If you have a manually controlled unit, set the knob on Maximum.

Hello Shane

Mine won't beep at all. But try this trick I watched the guy do when he came to service mine for the recall they had and push Humid button fan button and power button first hold the first two then push the power button and hold all three for awhile. What this did for him was verify all systems working all the lights came one in sequence.

I do this to mine and will beep twice and nothing else. I've taken mine apart to check the fuse and it's still good so there must be a component that is not working.

On the back of your unit you will find a 800 number which will get you in touch with Trans Global Service which serviced it for the recall.

There is some service that you can do ... Clean the filter and the cooling coils, regularly. Check the humidity level that you have the unit set on. It may be set to low and there's just not that much humidity in the air at this time, for it to collect. From what you said, it sounds like you may have it set on continuous cycle which could account for the lack of a lot of water in the bucket. In continuous run, the fan stays ON all the time. It's supposed to do that, so that the air is constantly moving and the sensor only turns the compressor ON, if it senses a humidity level 5% higher than what you have it set for. Try running the unit on a 1 or 2 hour cycle (if your model will do that) rather than continuous cycle.

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,

There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.

first check that the bucket is in properly. then remove bucket and push red button with finger with the unit on. if you are still getting a red alarm light it might be time to change the control panel. also unit does not work the same in cold weather. it will cycle too often. unit better used in summer-------good luck
