How many watts is a DE45EJ-L dehumidifier?

clean the dust off of the condenser in the front or the filter if it has one. no air flow results in overheating and no condensation across the evaporator coil.

If you just purchased and it won't turn ON, don't waste time trying to fix the unit. Return it to the place of purchase for a replacement unit or a refund.

That's because when you reinsert the bucket into the bucket holder, it's not making firm contact with the bucket safety removal switch. When you reinstall it, be sure that the bucket fits "squarely" into the holder from top to bottom. Once it's inserted properly, it just not tilt down on the bottom.

don't know what the P1 code means, but maybe your demand of 50% and low fan is not able to be achieved so the unit will increase the CFMs (high speed on fan) to try and reach the 50% humidity level you are asking it to do within a certain time period.

It takes a couple if tries. Have to press it twice to get down low and have to have at high or low speed.

Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier willnot work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrongwith their dehumidifier

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

Dehumidifier (DE45EJ-L) shows only E2 on the display -- no "buttons" work. Had been working perfectly -- we turned it off a few days ago. Any suggestions??

did not receive a manual for my humidifier DE45ej-t
I would like to have one

This can happen if the Temperature in your room is too low. You can work around it and place a 40 watt bulb near the the inlet of the humidifier to warm up the air a bit. Also if the humidity level in your room is already too low this can cause your dehumidifier to freeze up.

The unit shuts down when set at 50% because the controller is sensing that the humidity is below 50% RH. It comes on when set at 38 because the RH is higher, so it will try and dehumidify down to 38% RH.
According to the EPA the ideal RH in a conditioned space is 48 to 54%. You can set it and leave it at 50% if you are comfortable there and the dehumidifier will automatically come on when the RH is above 50% and will automatically turn off when the RH is 50% or below.
