Default Calling All Inventors. Fridge as dehumidifier.

Use your refrigerator to dry the air in your house.
Pull the condensate out of the drip pan with a small
positive-displacement pump. Use the resulting distilled
water for plants or to fill your car battery or any
non-critical application like that.

A small microcomputer can determine the level in the
tray and cycle the pump at the proper times.

A second tube near the top of your secondary reservoir
automatically drains the excess back into the drip pan
so it can be vaporized.

Warm or cool, the dryer air will make your house more
comfortable, less likely to support mold or mildew.

The free distilled water will save money, too.
