GE TPH22PRSA SCHEMATIC - Goldstar DH504EL Dehumidifier

You must contact GE on this question.

You need to clean the filters every other week and I clean the bucket everytime I empty it with either mean green or water and vinegar
That should help it alot

It sounds to me like you have a defective switch. I would recommend that you contact a G.E. dealer with the model and serial number and describe your problem.I can't find the right file right now but I believe thatthis switch is about twenty dollars.Thank you.

Unfortunately, 1000's of these units were recalled and there 100's of 1000's of owners of the Dehumidifier calling. You'll have to be patient and keep trying. Early morning is usually the best time. Start at 8am. The number you were given is for the company that's handling the recall for GE.

It's washable -- here's the info ::

sounds like shorted compressor

Is there any way you could test the continuity of the fuse - or "jump" it temporarily - without heating it to over 130F, of course! Some thermal fuses can be broken without looking the part.

130F seems a very low temp... Can you post or send me the schematic?

Hi,
I can't imagine why a >thermal< fuse would be insulated as I thought they were designed to melt when the ambient temperature exceeded the stated value
There are some pics of typical thermal fuses here :-

I also have difficulty imagining why they would out such a component in a fan motor assembly - it's not the sort of thing that usually catches fire!
Equally, a non-thermal filament type fuse would normally be placed where it could be seen and replaced. I would expect it to be mounted on a pcb - soldered in, perhaps, but in an obvious place.
We are not allowed to exchange emails via fixya.com, but if you wanted to upload that schematic to senduit.com, and then post the download link here, perhaps I could take a look at the schematic myself.
Sorry this is taking so long to sort out!
Cheers, D.
