Is anyone aware of a timer I could buy which can press a button on a
certain schedule, e.g. at 10 am and 3 pm each day? I'd like to use such
a device to turn a basement dehumidifier on and off, since I don't like
the noise it makes when I run it all of the time.

The particular dehumidifier I have has electronic controls, so if I use
a traditional timer that switches the power off and on, the dehumidifer
stays off when the power returns.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Not off hand. Perhaps you can insulate your dehumidifier in order to
muffle its noise.

I suggest you find an electronic repair type person (TV, Computer repair,
etc.) and see if they can modify your dehumidifier so it is always on. (And
then could be controlled by a regular timer.)

Or they might be able to wire a regular timer into the push button switch.
