Sears kenmore dehumidfier
 

I'm on my 3rd Kenmore dehumidifier in about 5 years. The first one lasted a
few years. When it broke I dumped it before realizing it had a 5 year
refrigeration sealed system warranty. The second lasted a year but when
that one went I brought it in and they gave me a new one. After being off
for the winter that one has failed too. Same thing as the other 2.... the
compressor works fine but there is no dehumidification. I presume the gas
leaks out.

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.

One shouldn't be so down on China.
There must be something good which comes from there.
Got to admit, though, I have not found anything yet. g

THey shipped my last one for repair but then called and said it wasn't worth
fixing and told me to pick it up from their repair center and bring it to
the store for an exchange..
