check to see if the fan is working. low or no air flow will cause it to ice up. may have to remove the front to de-ice. turn the unit off and slowly pour warm water over the coils to thaw. the water should drain right into the bin. also good to clean any dust off of the coils to keep the air flow open.
Take out bucket. Remove front cover two screws bottom left and right. Just inside lower left is a wiring harness with a clamp. Pry off and clean rust from clamp and tubing it attaches to. (if you put the bucket in and hold sensor between fingers the humidifier will start to work) Reattach clean sensor to clean copper tubing.
If the water bucket has not been emptied the until will not start. If it has, be sure that the bucket was reinstalled properly in the holder and is making contact with the Water Level Control Switch on the back wall, inside of the bucket holder. The bucket should be installed "squarely" into the holder from top to bottom. The bottom of the bucket should not tilt down at the bottom when installed properly.
If the bucket is not really full, it usually means the when the bucket was remove and reinstalled, it wasn't installed properly. Turn the unit OFF and unplug it. Remove the bucket and look inside of it, to see is there is a float valve. If so, it may be stick in the UP position. Jiggle it to make it return to DOWN position.
If your unit does not have afloat valve, reinstall the bucket, making sure it fit's "squarely" into the bucket holder. Once installed properly, the bottom of the tank should not tilt down at all. And it should be making contact with the bucket removal safety switch.
Hope this helped you to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.
Same problem with Goldstar model DH404EY7 -- stop code 01 on startup, bucket full light blinks (drains to floor).
Replaced the main controller board to fix it.
For my model dehumidifer the part # is 6871A20888A, and cost $77.44 (not counting shipping) from Appliance Factory Parts. The Appliance Factory Parts web site also provides parts breakdown (exploded parts diagram) diagrams and service manuals in PDF form.
