My dehumidifier quit getting any moisture out of the air. It runs like it always does but just is not pulling any of the humidity out of the air. My other machine is. What could be the problem? The machine is like new, I don't know much about Goldstar but would think it would last more than a year

Take cover off. First check the fuse on the circuit board. If it's blown replace it. That should get the motor running, the motor might be or is going out. If the motor is bad you'll have to replace the motor. If the fuse is good and the motor is good, unhook the wires on circuit board that go to the humidity control switch. If the unit comes on with the humidity control switch unhooked, you'll have to replace the humidity control switch. Sears has them for about $11.50. Hope this helps.

Don't pull too much or the will dry, squeak, crack - not less than 50% humidity

SOURCE: The coils freeze up after less than a half hour of

the coils freeze up for one of two reasons .. if air flow is blocked .. sometimes by dust buildup or fan bearings needing lube .. second if the fan is working properly then ice buildup can be caused by low refrigerant levels .. the proper charge produces a steady coolness across the entire evaporator (cold coil) .. as the level drops it tends to cool a small part of the evaporator way too cold .. that creates ice .. the ice blocks the air flow and soon the whole thing is blocked ...so check the fan first .. if its running properly and there is nothing blocking air flow then suspect low refrigerant.. that requires adding a saddle valve service port to the system to allow adding refrigerant .. often the problem is caused by the fan not working at all because of lack of lube in the bearings or a bad starting capacitor ..

Hi,

There are many reasons why a dehumidifier will not work or collect water.

Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrong with their dehumidifier

Only available for DjVu reader (download link on LG site). You'll need to download and install the plugin then close and relaunch your browser. I was only able to get it to work in IE in the end with Firefox and Chrome not working. IE objected I had to "allow" the plugin to run then once again close and relaunch the browser then it finally worked. Good Luck!
