Dehumidifier Compressor Turns On, but Coils Don't Get Cold Enough
So the coils don't form condensate and no moisture is extracted.
I'd guess two possibilities: The refrigerant is low, or the compressor isn't working properly (though it does turn on and has the characteristic mild buzz.) I have two units that are like this, and neither is very old. What could be wrong, and would it be economically sensible to try to get them fixed? Help much appreciated! Frank |

From what you're writing, it could be any of a bunch of problems. I've
serviced dehum, though they aren't all that expensive. Maybe a small town refrigerator repair place can have a look at them for you? Make some phone calls, you may be fortunate, and find a place that does dehum repair. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "frank1492" wrote in message ...
