Dehuey woes...

[Gquebed]

So.... can anybody tell me why my dehumidifier thinks it has a part time job?

The fan always runs... but it doesnt alway dehumidify. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it sucks up the moisture or not and my RH is all over the place...

Wtf!!??

The compressor might be bad. Have you tried cleaning the filter?

Cheap store bought units aren't rated for proper RH/temp to keep up with agricultural demands. Need to go with a sturdier built product.

My space is small. 5x9x7. So it has kept up well until now. Its about 2 yearsold now.

Most people are not aware. Most people don't read the instructions either.
Bought mine at sears and got the extended warranty. I take it in once a year and they clean it like new inside and out. Have had it for 8 years. Sits on a shelf in corner of room and drains into the reservoir.

Found it
Cleaned it... wasnt bad.
But then I found out that most dehueys dont operate under a certain temp... 67ish f for most. And I believe that's what my problem was...
