I cannot fathom your problem. I have only gone though 1 1/2 in 27 years. I
say this because I am still on my second one. It/they have been in use
24/7. I never turn it off.

Unfortunately, unbeknownst to you, you're comparing apples to oranges.
Before retiring, I worked for Sears for 17 years. The old dehumdifiers made
by Whirlpool went out to the home and never came back but about 5 years ago
they switched sources to a company in China. A lot of returns after that.
Same with window air conditioners. Now made in China, also. Had a customer
last year who had been to every store in town looking for a window unit made
in the USA but said he had no luck. All made in China. I don't know how
Sears' new return policy will affect returns of defective dehumidifiers in
the future. You may have to wait while unit is shipped to nearest big city
to be repaired from now on.
