If your dehumidifier constantly runs, it will collect more moisture than it can handle in all likelihood. Issues that could cause a dehumidifier to continuously run include a defective humidity sensor, insufficient capacity, or an issue with the unit’s electronic system.

Your dehumidifier will struggle to function properly if it has components that are collecting frost on them. The components that might collect frost on your home’s dehumidifier include the compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil, or the fan motor. If you spot frost on any component in your dehumidifier, call Heart Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric today to schedule a technician to conduct a repair.

A dehumidifier that leaks water is counter productive to the purpose a dehumidifier is supposed to serve. If you notice that your dehumidifier is leaking water, it needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent water damage or mold. A leaking dehumidifier usually indicates a problem with the collection bucket or the drain hose that needs to be repaired.

Your dehumidifier should run quietly in the background of your home. Any banging or rattling sounds coming from your dehumidifier are a sign something is wrong. This can be a sign of a fan motor or a mounting bracket in need of repair. Failure to address these issues can lead to a larger problem.

The primary function of your home’s dehumidifier is to collect water. If your home dehumidifier is not collecting water, a repair is necessary. When your dehumidifier won’t collect water it is usually due to an issue with the drain hose.

There are a variety of issues that could be at play if your home’s dehumidifier won’t stay on, or in other words you turn on the dehumidifier and it won’t run for very long before shutting itself off. Components that could be causing the issue include the compressor, electronic control board, or the evaporator thermistor.
