Very NOISY Whirlpool Dehumidifier
Hi
I did not list the different methods I tried, starting with different weights on top, insuring that everything is "tight" inside, checking the rubber mounts used by the compressor, different small carpets for it to sit on, and many other techniques. My latest attempt, I used two boards with holes near each end and long threaded rods (with nuts, flat & lock washers) through the holes in order to squeeze the sides (boards against sides) of the cabinet. So far (one day), it seems to work, but other methods I tried in the past seemed to work, but only for a while. Since this cold spell hit us, the dehumidifier is turned off. I will have to wait until warmer weather comes back before I use it again. John On Fri, 07 May 2010, you wrote: Hi, I bought a Whirlpool model AD50DSS2 dehumidifier. It is a very NOISY (vibration noise) dehumidifier! A service man came. He thought he fixed it, but later the NOISE was back. The dehumidifier's cabinet "amplifies" the compressor's vibration. A call to Whirlpool was no help at all. I am a ham radio operator and found out from other hams that I am not the only one that has a NOISY Whirlpool dehumidifier. I would like to hear from others with the same problem. Thank You in Advance, John N3AOF PS, Remove "ine" from my email address |
