I shut the unit down for about an hour to replace the drain hose

icing. Never encountered that before in all the years I have been
using this dh (since 2008) but the cellar was quite cold when it was
first turned on (which it always is.) Also I have a transparent drain
hose and the dh seemed to be functioning just fine through all this
despite the icing. Also a mystery as to why the icing would have
caused "actual' humidity to read incorrectly high.
More penance I suppose...should have noticed the icing right
away!

Time for a new dehumdifier. Icing usually indicates low freon (or its
not a low temp dehumdifier) and its usually a sealed unit. At least
mine was, and it lasted about as long as yours before I had to buy a
new one. The new one works great, the old one ices up when running
side by side.

They dont make 'em like they used to.
