1: 42 25805 DEHUM 50 PT ELEC w/PUMP Lost manual - how do we set the timer to shut off at night?

It thinks bucket is full because switch is tripped or stuck in tripped position.

Take out bucket and inspect plate it sits on. May be stuck or spring not providing enough tension. Increase tension on spring so empty bucket doesn't trip switch.,

if you hold mode button down does it not cycle thru timer settings?

It may be right. Are you sure you need dehumidification?

Put a free-standing humidity meter near the unit to check.

If you still want to run the dehum, take the humidity sensor out of the line and control the unit with a timer.

Bob, some humidifier fans run a lot, because they are designed to keep the air moving and when the humidity level rises, the compressor turns ON to extract the humidity. If you're operating the unit in a continual mode, it's not unusual for the fan to run almost constantly.Especially, is the humidity extraction level is set at or above 50%. Lowering it to 35% will cause it to extract more humidity and will turn on an off less.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

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

Dehumidifier is running but no water is in bucket

your humidistat is bad you can go to appliancepart pros.com and enter model number or call them they are really helpful

Hi Journeay,
The dehumidifier is telling you the humidity in your house is 45-50 % so it will not run until the dehum thinks it is over 60%. When you set a humidity it will show the setting then it will tell you the humidity in the house. Sometimes they are wrong, and somtimes the humidistat goes bad. I would suggest setting the dehumidifier lower than the 45-50 and see if it comes on. This time of year the humidity is usually low depending on your location. I have already put mine away for the winter. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I really hope this will fixYa. If not just let me know.

When you first turn on the unit it is set to 40% humidity which is the lowest the unit will accept. You can only move the up arrow from that point. The 63 you are seeing is the actual humidity. If you want 50% youo need to press up arrow till 50 is displayed. The manual for this unit is terrible. Just leave it as it is and it will attempt to bring it down to 40%. 30 to 50 is the recommended humidity range.

sealed system problem, no freon in the system and the humidistat or thermastat is making the machine run all the time, need to have serviced by authorized service company for the dehum

My crosley dehum. acted the same way. It turned out to be a bad defrost thermostat on the evaporator coil.
