Tom N October 14, 2020 for Model Number LD650EAL The is the capacitor located on the LG LD650EAL dehumidifier
1 Answer Tom N, Based on the information provided, the part in question has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no suitable replacement has been provided. It looks to in a control area close to the relay board. Read More...
Repair Guy October 30, 2014 for Model Number LD650EAL What capacitor do you have to replace the one that was in the LG Energy Star model LD650EAL dehumidifier?
Ken May 30, 2014 for Model Number LHD65EL Unit powers on everything runs great except the fan does not turn on, the unit is 10 years old is it worth repairing?
1 Answer Hello Ken, This can be the fault of the power supply on the board not sending power to the motor or it can be a bad motor. You need to ohm out the motor windings to ensure they are not shorted to ground. If not, the board will be the issue. Whether you repair or replace is the customers' decision. This is determined by the cost to repair the unit compared to the cost of the appliances' replacement. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of the appliances' replacement cost, you need to determine how much money you want to have in it since no parts but the ones you replace will be under warranty.

Jesus Augusto Quiroz April 18, 2014 for Model Number LHD451EGL Tengo un deshumidificador yen estos momentos dejo de funcionar, pues lo energizo y me aparece en la pantalla "CH 67", lo he revisado y a veces arranca durante unos minutos, pero vuelve a presentar el mismo problema he llamado a varios servicios de LG para su reparación pero la información que me dan no es alentadora para un cliente, pues lo que me contestan es que no conocen este producto , que no lo comercializan, yo ya le he revisado personalmente, el fusible (FUSE), el sensor de humedad (HUMEDITY SENSOR), el thermistor, el indicador (BUCKET) de nivel de llenado de la cubeta y por ultimo revise el moto del ventilador conectándolo directamente y funciona y a la vez funciona el compresor y todo lo he encontrado en buen estado. Como hago para tener una asesoría o un manual de reparación de averias o un diagrama eléctrico o electrónico donde figuren los planos de todos los componentes electricos y electrónicos en detalle, pues en manual que baje de internet no describen en detalle ninguna información de reparación eléctrica. Te comento que lo desconecto del toma y empieza a funcionar muy bien durante un tiempo y luego aparece de nuevo el problema “CH67 0 "CH1"y por consiguiente se prende el piloto del bucket full y se apaga el ventilador y el compresor, solo me falta revisar el condensador (capacitor) que es el encargado de almacenar energía. Modelo según la etiqueta es LD451EGL, perO según manual bajado de internet es: ( LHD45EL / LHD65EL / LHD65EBL)
1 Answer Jesús, Desafortunadamente no podemos tirar de cualquier información en esta unidad y el error de CH 67 que no sea esta de ser un circuito del ventilador bloqueado. Read More...
Ray September 07, 2013 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
1 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...
Brian September 01, 2013 for Model Number lg dehumidifier lhd45el Hello, My dehumidifier has 4 dashes where the numbers should be. I have taken the unit apart to see if there was a reset button any where no luck. A post that I saw said to replace the capacitor. Your thoughts ?
1 Answer Brian, It is a possibility that the capacitor could be the issue. You will want to pull the capacitor and test it per the specs on the side. You will want to discharge the capacitor before testing. Also check to make sure that the bucket full switch is not stuck and check to make sure that there are no loose or disconnected wires. If this checks ok then you will want to replace the control board. Read More...
P.J. January 03, 2013 for Model Number LHD30 dehumidifier This dehumidifier is approximately 6 years old. I went to use it, turned it on and it sounded ok. I heard the compressor kick in. Came back later no water had been produced. Is the compressor bad? If so, can it be replaced if so what do they cost?
1 Answer Hello P.J., If you heard the compressor come on and no water has been produced, the issue is most likely a corroded evaporator coil and freon loss. In the case of a freon loss in a dehumidifier, it is normally much cheaper to replace the unit than to replace the evaporator, heat exchange assembly (capillary lines), filter/drier, and compressor. These are normally the components that require replacement in this issue. The labor alone for a sealed system repair is comparable to the replacement cost of the unit. Read More...
Harry September 05, 2012 for Model Number 58053701300 After turning on dehumidifier, it will run and everything sounds normal for the first 10-15 seconds. Then the sound wavers a bit and it will trip the GFCI. Unplug it and reset GFCI and it will repeat the above again. I tried it on a different GFCI circuit with the same results. Once, it tripped the breaker instead of the GFCI. I am wondering if it could be this capacitor and am wondering a good test procedure for the capacitor with a meter. Does the fan start first, before the compressor? I am wondering if it is when the compressor tries to start that it trips the GFCI? Thank you.
1 Answer Hi Harry. The best thing is to remove the condenser and evaporator covers carefully to clean the coils and fan blades. If they are clogged or the fan cannot turn efficiently. Yes the evaporator fan part # 4681A20040G runs always with the compressor. You can use a Supra Capacitor Checker available at a HVAC Supply store. It has a simple L.E.D. readout that will tell the tolerance of the capacitor. You can use an analog ohm meter and see our website to explain the proper procedure. The capacitor is part # 0CZZA20005J. It can be that the compressor windings part # 2520UCBA004 have shorted and it is tripping the breaker. The volt meter is part # MA-DM1. Thank You. Read More...
Sherri July 22, 2011 for Model Number 580.53701300 Kenmore dehumidifer is running except doesn't dry the humidity in room. The air is cold, not warmer like before. What is cause? Is capacitor blow out? Hope not compressor! Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Sherri. Check and see if there is power coming to the compressor. If not, you have a bad control board 3551A10024B. This part has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. If there is power there, you have a bad compressor [AP5171885]. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
