Dehumidifier is not collecting water, fan working, compressor sounds like it working. I have Whirlpool AD50GUSX.

be careful. run your unit at the lowest setting for about 5 minutes, unplug it then try to touch the tubing. it should be very cold. if it is not cold then it needs to be serviced.

Frigidaire dehumidifier has an error code of EC and does not take in any water. The temp in the basement is a constant 68 degrees.

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 ***
* Checking basic problems; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXJrVGP_Ixs
* The humidifier will only run if the "Humidity" (water or moisture in the air) is higher than the current setting on the humidifier. If it's set to maximum dry setting then expect it to run almost 100% of the time. If it is set to a "wet" setting then expect it run only for short periods.
* Colder room temperatures will reduce the frequency of cycles as cold air will hold less moisture than warm air.
* You may note that running a AC unit in the same room as the dehumidifier will give you mixed results as both units will "fight" or work against each other. Humidifier will heat the air as it exits while the AC will cool the air. Best to not run the AC while the dehumidifier is in operation.
* Note that AC do "dehumidify" the air as it passes through. But not as effective as a dedicated dehumidifier.
* Be sure to check the tub and filter (make sure they are seated properly.)
* Contact Frigidaire or your local Appliance store for service.

De'Longhi DE500P quit working after a couple of seasons. The unit is like new. All lights work, everything seems to be running, but no water is extracted. De'Longhi wants me to send it to Ohio,...

Paul, There are 5 basic, yet solvable reasons for what you described. Please pay particular attention to numbers 1 & 2..

1. The humidity extraction level is set to HIGH. Lower it to 32-35%.

2. Air intake filter is dirty or clogged. Turn unit OFF, & Unplug the
Unit, before removing to inspect & clean it, if necessary. If washed,
allow filter to completely dry before reinstalling. DO NOT operate
the unit without the filter.

3. Obstructed air flow. Maintain a minimum of 12 to 18" of clear air
space around the entire unit.

4. Cooling coils are dirty and need to be cleaned. Use warm water & dish washing liquid to
clean the coils. Rinse and wipe dry. Apply a light coating of WD40 to the coils.

5. Ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 - 60 degrees.
dehumidifiers do not work well between those temperatures
(Unless, you have a Low Temp Unit). This applies mainly to
where the air temperature at floor level is colder than at shoulder level
in basement applications . Raising the unit up off the floor,
onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight
of the unit, plus a full tank of water, will usually resolve this
problem.

If none of the above solves the problem, it may be a case of the compressor needs to be recharged with refrigerant gas or that the humidity condenser sensor has failed. These things usually occur in units that are 5 years old or older. It's rare in a unit younger than that. But, it can happen. Parts are available, but recharging the compressor should be left to the pros.

If you decide to dispose of it. The land fill is not an option. The compressor has refrigerant gas in it and must be disposed of properly. Most cities and counties have drop off sites for this type of appliance.

I hope I was able to help you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

We just bought a new Friedrichs dehumidifier for our damp basement. The temp is reading 81 and the humidity 63 and it's been running for 2 hours. The basement is about 1000 sq feet and the outdoor temp...

Iris, all dehumidifiers generate some heat while in operation. However, it may be generating higher temps because of it's location. Dehumidifiers don't work well in temperatures below 65 degrees, In fact they struggle below that temp. Unless it's a Low Temperature unit, designed specifically for basement applications.

For example, the ambient air temperature never changes more than 10 degrees F throughout the year.
The air temperature at floor level (where the dehumidifier is placed) is colder then the air temperature at shoulder level. Raising the unit up off the floor onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight of the unit, plus a bull bucket of water, will generally solve the problem.

Be sure to clean the air intake filter regularly. At least once every 2 weeks. And wipe off the cabinet and the front louvers, when you change the filter. Always, turn the unit OFF & Unplug it, before removing the filter. Never operate the unit without the filter in place. Doing so could cause damage to the unit.

I hope this information has helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

My Danby DPAC1010 Portable Air Conditioner is dehumidifying when simply in AC mode. I don't want it to, but if fills up a 2 gallon bucket every 2-3 days. I've had it overflow twice and I cannot...

The only way to stop it from dehumidifying is to stop it. A dehumidifier is a AC that is 'tuned poorly'. In your machine, while in dehumidify mode, you actually are running the AC in 'slow".

It is a law of physics. Warm air can hold moisture. Cold air can not hold moisture. When you remove the heat from the air, the water has to go somewhere, so it condenses on the coils and drips into the tank. Yes, that is true: Heat is a thing, you have to remove heat from the air. You don't simply "cool it", you remove the heat.

Your Danby should have a automatic shut off that comes into play when the condensate tank gets full. MY Danby, which is a sllightly different model than yours, has a connection that allows me to connect a hose that I lead to a floor drain to disponse of the condensate (water).

If yours is not equipped with a shut off nor a drain and you say it fills every 2 to 3 days, the options I see that you have is to dump it every day, or - don't run it all the time, or - turn the setting to a higher number which will reduce the AC and dehumidifying effect. On the down side of that, your humidity will remain high at the higher setting.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com and thanks for letting me assist you this evening.

Ac unit keeps reading fl or full. every 2-3 hours. auto clean button drains out about 1/4 a gallon of water and then stops draining. turn back on ac & repeat process every 2-3 hours. I have tried...

After reading over the Owner's Manual for your unit, I wonder if you are operating it in the Cool & Dry Mode. If that's the case, the dehumidifier is in operation, which would account for having to drain the unit every 2 to 3 hours. Ideally, the Cool and Dry Mode should only be operated for about an hour, when the unit is first started . Removing the humidity will allow the AC function to cool more effectively. But, it is not necessary for it to remain in Cool & Dry mode all the time. Because the AC itself unit will remove some humidity too.

Hope this helped you to troubleshoot and solve the issue of having to drain the unit every 2 to 3 hours

My Fedders A7DH45B2A dehumidifier (about 4 yrs old) continues to trip the fuse embedded in the outlet on the wall in which it's plugged in.. What gives??

either try a different outlet to see if the G.F.C.I. is bad on this outlet or if the dehumidifier trips on another line it could be the units motor start capacitor that shorted or the compressor is bad

Hi,
No, a byproduct of cooling the air is condensation....or dehumidification... so in short.. if you want to cool the air you will also dehumidify it...

I used this unit all last year and it did not fill up every 5 hours. I know that AC involves some dehumidification but the unit has separate settings for the dehumidifier and the AC, and, I believe, a combined setting. It appears to be stuck in a combined setting that causes it to stop during the night. Again, it worked differently last year so I wondered whether there was a way to reset it. Or, to work out a drainage system that connects to a large container than the small internal one.

After reading this advice, I looked at the manual again. This unit is supposed to have auto-evaporation so that it does not have to have to be emptied as it does when the dehumidifier is used. I believe the auto-evaporate function may not be working properly. Does anyone know how to find a qualified service person for the New Air portable units?
