Joe for Model Number Zenith Dehumidifier ZD300Y0 My Zenith Dehumidifier (ZD300Y0) initially worked for several seconds with a sensor reading of 70% before registering 1% then turning off. After using an air compressor to dry the unit off it now goes directly to 1% and shuts off immediately when attempting to turning the power on. Can you confirm that the humidity sensor ( LG 6877A30013V) is the issue? If so could you please provided directions on replacing this part? Thanks, Joe
Answer Hello Joe, This can be the humidity sensor (AP5630247) or the control board (AP4992505) that is sensing the information from the sensor. When the humidity starts high but the control suddenly drops, this can damage the control board. It is recommended to change the sensor and the control at the same time to avoid damage to either the new sensor or the new control as the sensor, when bad, can also damage the control. Read More...
