How long should a dehumidifier last?
Maintain Your Appliance The lifetime of dehumidifiers usually ranges from five to 10 years. To maximize the lifetime, it’s important to care for your dehumidifier. Be sure to regularly change the air filters, clean the condensing coils and exhaust grilles, and empty and clean the water bucket.
Why do dehumidifiers fail so quickly?
Overload. If your dehumidifier is no longer pulling water from the air and you have verified that the ambient room temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit, then the unit’s compressor may not be running. A common cause for the overload to fail is from operating the dehumidifier on long or undersized extension cords.
Is there a dehumidifier that lasts more than a year?
No manufacturer makes a consistently long-lasting dehumidifier. Reading the reviews on Amazon is a great way to see just how prone to failure dehumidifiers are. I haven’t found a company that warranties their dehumidifiers over 1 year, making these virtually disposable machines after 1 summer of use.
Why do my dehumidifier keep breaking?
The culprit could be a dirty fan or a broken fan blade. If comfortable checking inside the unit, unplug it and then remove the cover, then turn the fan blade by hand to see if either debris or a broken blade is keeping the fan from turning.
Can I throw out a dehumidifier?
Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air. To cool the air within the unit, a dehumidifier uses Freon (chloroflourocarbon gas). Because it contains Freon, you just can’t throw out your dehumidifier or other appliances that contain Freon–such as refrigerators and air conditioners–with your regular trash.
