You either start at the back or side covers. There are screws hidden under plastic plugs. Once you pop the plugs out its easy. Some internal screws are hidden under the panels you remove.

Your manual as I looked up the model

The 5000 is designed to evaporate all condensation produced. When on extremely hot and humid days if machine produces excess moisture it is normal for machine to drip from back. No, do not drill a hole. Your unit is ok.

If any moisture was left in the unit prior to storage with the doors closed, it has caused the door tracks to become rusty and non functional. Refrigerator units should always be left ajar for many days following removal of power to allow the interior to fully defrost, and dry out. Extended periods of trapped moisture inside the unit will also cause corrosion on the aluminum coil, and cooling failure. Pleazer Appliance...

There should be a separate fan to cool the magnetron. That fan blows into the cavity and should prevent moisture buildup.

these portable units will usually have a knob reading from low to high. set it about half way and adjust as needed. half way is usually low 70's

is there a flashing light on the unit? If so it will correspond to a needed repair. check your manual to match the number of flashes to the warning it is giving you.

you need to get the exhaust air out if the structure or it will never work, you can use regular duct from a supply house as a temp fix

Hi Fred, let me see if I can assist you. If your dehumidifier doesn't seem to run often but the humidity in the room is high, try adjusting the humidistat control on the dehumidifier to a dryer setting. If the dehumidifier seems to run constantly, but there's little or no water in the container, there may be a problem in the refrigeration system. Try cleaning the unit. If that doesn't work, you can't repair the refrigeration system yourself, you need a qualified appliance repair technician to do that.

open the cover and put it in sun light for some, also clean the lense with tissue paper.
