Oasis Dehumidifiers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

2 1/2 house power

I'm writing this in the most general terms because the model #2200L does not show up in any list I have of Oasis dehumidifiers, but there is an Eva-Dry 2200 solid-state (Peltier Effect) dehumidifier.

First, make sure the plumbing to the tank is not leaking. If the water is dribbling out elsewhere and evaporating again, that defeats your purpose.

Second, make sure both the hot side and the cold side of the refrigeration unit are clean. If the hot side radiator (condenser in a mechanical unit) is clogged with dust, the heat builds up in the system and it is unable to cool the cold side (evaporator) effectively. If the cold side is too dirty, it will be insulated from the air flowing through and will not cool the air sufficiently to condense out the moisture. Also, check the fan(s) to make sure they are spinning at full speed and aren't loaded up with dirt.

If this all looks good, then you have a problem with the operation of the refrigeration unit. In a mechanical unit, it is probably a loss of refrigerant or a worn-out compressor.

In a solid-state unit, it could be a power supply failure (cheap parts, but some labor to diagnose required) or a degraded thermo-electric module (easy replacement but about as expensive as the entire unit). The power supply is more likely to fail.

The oil is most likely from the compressor, and it will either have to be serviced or replaced. I'm not sure if a compressor will be available, but you can check with Oasis at their support website:

Good luck, and hope this helps you.

is the filter and coil clean? In high humidity the unit mat run too long and freeze. Try turning the humidistat a little lower

Hi,
There are many reasons for a dehumidifier to 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

Sounds to me like the hemostat is sticking or our of calibration, unfortunately it would have to be replaced to fix this problem

Clean the air filter of dust and debris. https://www.google.com/search?q=Idylis+dehumidifier+with+pump+getting+an+E2+code ..

There could be several reasons why you're finding an oily liquid underneath your Ebac15 dehumidifier: Refrigerant Leak: If the dehumidifier is leaking refrigerant, it could result in an oily substance pooling underneath. Refrigerant leaks are often accompanied by an oily residue1\. Compressor Issue: A malfunctioning compressor can cause refrigerant leaks and result in an oily substance accumulating underneath the dehumidifier. Condenser Coil Leak: If the condenser coil is damaged or deteriorating, it may lead to refrigerant leaks and the presence of oil underneath the dehumidifier. Internal Component Failure: Internal components such as seals or tubing may degrade over time, leading to leaks of refrigerant or oil. Improper Handling During Transport: If the dehumidifier was tilted or handled roughly during transportation, it could have caused oil from the compressor or other internal components to leak. Given the potential hazards associated with refrigerant leaks, it's advisable to discontinue the use of the dehumidifier and consult a professional technician for diagnosis and repair.

The Units are made in the Far East and are often sold under different maker names but retaining all or part of the model number. Here is the manual sold by Evantair. It has a compressor.https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1016879/Evantair-Wdh-816eah.html#manual..

Can you give a little more detail about the problem? Is it turning on? Is there just no water collecting?

'make model (what it is)' first 3 words in every question please. You could have three issues. 1. a drain plug not removed 2. an airlock 3. a blockage caused by biofilm gunk. Nasty stuff. Try blowing air UP the drain hose. ..

I would check the position of the sensor and make sure it is clean and free from debris.

Question edited for a lot more clarity, add maker, fix English. It sounds like a refrigeration issue like low gas. There are various idea here, but you probably need to drop it off at a refrigeration service centre. https://www.google.com/search?q=gd2005+dehumidifier+starts+and+stops+working ..

Hello I would like to buy a dehumidifier "Challenge" ram 710. Is there a possibility to connect a little pipe, so it can be runned for 24 hrs, without having to care if the tank is full or not? Thank you for all your answers! Daniel

It sounds like the switch needs to be replaced or adjusted. https://www.google.com/search?q=Haier+Dehumidifier+says+bucket+full Need model number. That is needed in all Fixya questions. https://www.google.com/search?q=haier+dehumidifier+parts+list ..
