Amana d545m plug replacement

First, make sure that there's power to the unit. Has a circuit breaker in the circuit breaker panel been tripped? If so, unplug the unit before resetting the breaker. Also, check the receptacle or extension cord that you're using to power the unit, as it may be damaged.

If you have power to the unit, it may be that some critter or insects have gotten into the unit and shouted it out. In which case, you're lucky that it didn't start a fire. It's not a good idea to leave the dehumidifier running unattended for a week or more.

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Its not worth the money. the cost of those two parts exceed the cost of a new one. Dont buy amana again they have very poor quality.

Hi,
The compressor has locked up and will not start...this is terminal and will cost more to replace it then the unit is worth...
unfortunately you will have to replace the unit with a new one...

This could be one of several things, we are assuming the air is humid. If the fan is not running and the compressor is, replace or repair fan motor. If the compressor is running, the output line from the compressor should be warm, if not you probably have low refrigerant gas, plugged cap tube or a bad compressor. If it is slightly warm check the evaporator portion at the outlet of the cap tube, it should be cold, probably in the 40F range depending on ambient temperature, if not see above.

Hi,
There are many reasons for a dehumidifier to 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.

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

make sure the front vent/filter is clean and free of debris. if there is not sufficient airflow across the condenser coil (front), it will not cool down. if it does not cool down, it won't remove the water from the air.

replace 24 volt 1 watt zener diode on circuit board. 1n4749 (nte5081a)
mine was hit by lightning and this fixed it.

The hose must be plugged. Empty the dehumidifier, disconnect the hose and see what the blockage is, then remove it or get a new hose.
