I understand that the blower wheel is not spinning on your Frigidaire dehumidifier, model# FAD504DUD. I also see that the compressor will stay on unless the dehumidifier is unplugged. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for further assistance. They can possibly clarify why the compressor stays on and why the blower fan is not working. If not, they should at least be able to point you in the right direction of having your dehumidifier working. Hope this is helpful.
First, I'm not a Frigidaire tech. * Check your warranty. Call for service. * Contact (note Live Chat link); https://www.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Contact-Us/ *** following is for information only *** * Check by setting to "Driest" or max setting. It should stay on longer.. If not then there may be a problem with the air sensor. Call for service. * If the compressor keeps turning on and off every 2 mins then it may be "short cycling". Call for service. * Be sure to check the tub and filter (make sure they are seated properly.) * Checking basic problems; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXJrVGP_Ixs * Review; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbwIEU3zlG8 Aloha, ukeboy57
In your instruction manual you should find a parts list, purchase a new blower wheel and install it. If it is an older unit it may be best to just replace it.
If your Indoor Coil is Freezing Up,
You need see if the blower runs if it does, Then shut it off and check your filter, indoor coil and blower wheel, to see if they are dirty, if they are, they need to be cleaned, if not then you are probably low on refrigerant. If the blower doesn’t run when you turn the switch to on then you need to check the blower and capacitor out.
If your not familiar with any of this then you need to call a service tech.
Check your filter, indoor coil and blower wheel to see if they are dirty, if they are they need to be cleaned, if not then you are probably low on refrigerant or Blower speed to low. If the blower doesn’t run when you turn the switch to on then you need to check the blower out, especially the capacitor.
After 1 year of wondering why the LG instruction manual said no more than shove the white hose connector piece into the rear of the unit until secure, and relying on 'hit or miss' that the drain hose would actually work, (rather than filling up the bucket), I have finally found the solution. Ironically, it came while I was on my knees getting serial number from behind the bucket before they would try to help me by phone. There I saw it! The black interior drain piece inside the unit (top right when you remove the bucket) that the white house connector must be secured over. (Nothing in the manual ever told me to look for this.) As for securing the unit in the back--under the big vertical flap (which must point up and remain outside the unit), there is a smaller flap or triangular piece. They say that should be inside the unit, which it doesn't seem to go, because it is parallel to the large vertical flap), but if you push hard enough it does click onto the unit, while allowing the large while flap to remain outside (with the arrow pointing up), making the entire piece secure. Check once more to see if the white hose connector piece is secured over the interior drain piece (a black plastic elbow piece, on the top inside right where you remove the bucket, as I've said), and you'll be good to go! LG should be ashamed of their manual writing on this and the time I wasted getting my two units to work. However, at least these units are not fatally flawed as I was beginning to think.
