If your dehumidifier is overflowing, you can test the overflow prevention switch with a volt-ohm meter. Is your dehumidifier freezing up? A dehumidifier will often frost up if room temperatures are colder than about 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the room temperature is lower than 40 degrees F. A clear indicator of this is an evaporator coil that is frosted up completely and evenly see Step 5 for information on opening the unit. If you suspect that your room temperature may be too cold, try setting the dehumidifier on a table so that it circulates slightly warmer air. You can also try aiming a small blower or heater at the unit—if this solves the problem, consider raising the room temperature slightly.

Anything that prevents room air from freely moving through the unit can cause the dehumidifier to freeze up. However, do not place it in a drafty spot. In most cases, you use a vacuum cleaner to do this; foam filters can be cleaned with spray from a faucet. If the coils inside the unit are dirty, they cannot operate efficiently. Unplug the dehumidifier and open it up by removing the screws that secure the outer cover.

Note whether the coils are completely iced up or only partially iced up. If only certain sections of the coils are iced up, the problem is likely to be caused by low refrigerant or a failing compressor see Step 8.

Allow all ice to melt and excess moisture to evaporate from the coils. Then, using a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner, remove all dust buildup, being careful not to damage the coils. If comfortable checking inside the unit, unplug it and then remove the cover, then turn the fan blade by hand to see if either debris or a broken blade is keeping the fan from turning.

Manufacturers carry replacement blades, which users can order and install, usually with the help of just a screwdriver. If a broken fan motor is at fault, however, the fix is more complex. Replacing a fan motor is a job for a professional technician. If the fan is in good shape, something could be blocking airflow into the unit.

This could be as simple as lint, dust, or pet fur buildup on the grill that covers the fan. A dehumidifier placed against a wall or next to an upholstered chair might not be able to draw in enough air. Position the dehumidifier at least a foot away from walls, furniture, curtains, clothing, and other items. If a dirty or clogged grill is reducing airflow, unplug the unit, remove the grill cover, take it outdoors, and spray it clean with a hose.

Dehumidifiers contain electrical components that can go bad, in addition to internal wiring that can short or come loose from connection terminals. Models made within the past decade or so might contain electronic control boards that can burn out and stop working. The Roper Dryer with Model No.

We were lucky this thing did not burn our house down. The website for the recall states that this model is not on the recall, however, this model is not even listed so that we could find out if it indeed is a unit that is recalled.

Will be calling the company ASAP. If you buy through a link on our site, we may earn a commission from the retailer. Note: This page was written before the new DOE standards of Inline Feedbacks.
