Whirlpool AD 50USV 50 pint Dehumidifier
Compresser run but bottom section of rad frost up without removing water.
The top half of the rad feels warm to the touch (is it because not enough coolant is flowing in the unit).
Fan runs.
Tried different settings with same eresults.
Unit is only a couple of years old.

DEPENDING ON HOW FAR AND HOW LONG IT RAN TILTED, YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE BUCKET SWITCH, LOCATED BEHIND THE BUCKET. SOMETIMES THERE IS A FLOAT INSIDE THE BUCKET THAT ACTIVATES THE SWITCH. IT MAY HAVE GOTTEN IN A BIND. TRY REMOVING THE BUCKET AND THEN REINSTALLING IT.
IF YOU HEAR A CLICKING NOISE ONCE EVERY FEW MINUTES, YOU MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE COMPRESSOR.
THE COMPRESSOR HAS LUBRICATING OIL IN THE BOTTOM OF IT AND REQUIRES IT BEING LEVEL TO PROPERLY PICK UP THE OIL. IF YOU TILT IT FAR ENOUGH, IT WON'T BE ABLE TO PICK UP THE OIL AND WILL DAMAGE THE INTERNAL MOVEMENT OF THE COMPRESSOR. REPLACE-MENT OF THE COMPRESSOR IS THE ONLY FIX AN TOO EXPENSIVE. BETTER TO JUNK IT AND START OVER.

Try cleaning the filter first. Pull it out and then wash it with water and let it dry overnight. Then clean the spigot/nozzle which fills the pan. This often becomes clogged with dust or debris or even insect webs. Once you wipe the nozzle with a rag, really clean it well with a finger. You should feel the rubber gasket at the end of the nozzle with your finger.
Likely the fill nozzle was just clogged so water drips along the top and down the sides of the pan instead of into it.
Good luck.
