Ray for Model Number 580.54351500 My dehumidifier doesn't remove moisture. The fan runs and the compressor is very hot. The evaporator and condenser are clean. I've replaced the sensor assembly. Could it be the drawing capacitor? It's not bulging, looks ok but not tested. Thanks
Answer Hello Ray, This sounds like a sealed system restriction. If the compressor cannot circulate the freon, it pressurizes the high side and draws the low side into a vacuum. This makes the compressor run at an above normal temperature and with no freon circulation within the sealed system, it cannot transfer heat as designed. Unfortunately, this makes it cheaper to buy a new unit than to repair. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, September 13, 2013
