In this section you’ll find tips and solutions to common Frigidaire dehumidifier problems that owners face or may face in future times. These solutions are applicable to Frigidaire 30, 50 , and 70 pint dehumidifiers models.

Frigidaire Dehumidifier Clean Filter

Forest Air Dehumidifier Instructions

When the “clean filter” lights stays on, then it’s time to do some cleaning top filter . This indicator is set to light on after 250 hours of operation, so you don’t have to worry.

How To Clean the filter on a Frigidaire Dehumidifier

To clean the filter, you remove it first. To remove the filter properly, pull the tabs using your hands in order not to scratch them and then take out the filter. Then run the filter under clean water then dry it. Don’t use an electric hair dryer to dry the air filter. Once the filter is dry, replace it on the rear of the dehumidifier and snap in place.

NB: It’s recommended that you clean the filter once every two weeks based on the dehumidifier being used in normal operating conditions.

Frigidaire Dehumidifier Not Working

If your dehumidifier is freezing up, then try these simple solutions first.

• Make sure that the plug is right in the wall outlet by pushing it firmly into wall outlet (the wall plug may disconnected).
• The fuse of your house may have blown or the circuit breaker may have tripped. Check if it’s the case, then replace the fuse by another one, or your house’s circuit breaker.
• The dehumidifier may not turn on if the water bucket is not installed properly.
• Also, the water tank may have reached its maximum. If this happens, the unit will automatically shut off. All you have to is to empty the water bucket and return it back to position.
• It may appear silly, but the dehumidifier may not be turned on, so turn it on.

Frigidaire Dehumidifier Not Collecting Water

To resolve this problem , follow these steps given by an expert.

1. Make sure that the humidity extraction level is not very HIGH. Simply set it to 32-35%.
2. Another area to check is the air filter as it could be clogged or dirty. Turn the unit OFF and unplug it. Remove the air filter by pulling the tabs. Inspect it and clean it if necessary. Leave it until it’s completely dry, then put it back. DO NOT turn the unit on without the filter.
3. The unit may be close to a wall or an object which obstructs the air flow. Put it away from anything that could stop the air flow by maintain a minimum of 12 to 18″ of clear air space around your dehumidifier.

If none of the instructions above helped solve your problem, it may be a case of the compressor needs to be recharged with refrigerant gas. Also, if the your dehumidifier have been working for more than 5 years, the humidistat may have failed. This could also happen to a dehumidifier that has operated for less time. In this case, contact the manufacturer or consult other resources on our website.

Imagine enjoying a soda during a particularly warm day. When you pick up the can, you might notice that it's wet -- there's moisture on the outside. Why is that? As air loses heat, it also begins to lose its ability to retain moisture; the colder surface pulls and collects water from the warmer air, creating condensation. Your dehumidifier does pretty much the same thing. Factory talk view studio manual. Most dehumidifiers can be broken down into five component parts:

• FanCompressor -- This compresses and expands a refrigerant gas like freon to cool the dehumidifier's coils. (See How Air Conditioners Work for a more detailed explanation of this cycle.)
• Reheater -- This captures and collects heat that the cooling process generates.
• Compressor cooling coils
• Reservoir

How do all these parts fit together to pull moisture from the air? It's fairly simple, but very effective:

1. A fan collects air from the surrounding area and pulls it into the dehumidifier.
2. As the air passes through, it comes into contact with the dehumidifier's cooled coils. These coils use condensation to pull moisture from the air. The collected moisture remains on the coils and drips into the dehumidifier's reservoir.
3. The dehumidifier reheats the air and exhausts it back into the room.

A dehumidifier usually has a removable plastic bucket for a reservoir; most buckets also have a place where you can hook up a hose so the collected water can drain straight into a floor drain or pump. This frees you from having to remember to dump out the water. But don't worry too much about the reservoir overflowing -- most dehumidifiers also have an automatic shut-off. If you're using a dehumidifier in extremely moist conditions, however, or if you need to keep your dehumidifier on all the time, you should look into a unit with a built-in condensate pump, which regularly pumps water out of the unit's reservoir rather than simply relying on gravity to empty it as a hose does.

Many dehumidifiers also have a humidistat, which allows you to set your desired level of relative humidity. A humidistat has two parts: a sensing element and a relay amplifier. The sensing element includes two alternate metal conductors, and changes in relative humidity will cause electrical resistance between those conductors. The relay amplifier measures this resistance and sends a signal to turn the dehumidifier on or off. These basic components add up to a device that may make your home feel a whole lot better.

Now that you know the basics of dehumidifier technology, it's time to learn about different kinds of dehumidifiers. Which one may be right for you? Read on to find out.
