Tony September 07, 2013 for Model Number llhd45elt8 This dehumidifier condenser doesn't start. Could this be the sensor? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Tony. You need to check and see if there is power to the control board on the unit. If so, and the board does not turn on the unit, you will need to replace the board. If the sensor is bad, it could prevent it from working, but usually the problem leads to the board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Mark August 26, 2013 for Model Number GHD30 When I turn on my dehumidifier the compressor starts but the fan never comes on and after a few seconds it shuts off and never starts again. Would this be the sensor assy , part #AP5630247?
1 Answer Hello Mark, This is probably due to a bad relay on the control board. Unfortunately, no parts are listed so the manufacturer has no parts available for the repair of this model. Read More...
Isiah August 14, 2013 for Model Number LHD65EL I have an LG LHD65EL Dehumidifier. When I turn it on, I can hear the compressor kick in and the fan spins on low or high (whichever I choose). However, the coils do not get cool and it does not collect water. Please help in diagnosing this repair. Thank You
1 Answer Hello Isiah. It sounds like a freon leak issue and you will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. Read More...
Joe July 14, 2013 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
1 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...
Jason July 07, 2013 for Model Number zenith dehumidifier ZD309 Thanks for your reply. Now the dehumidifier does not work anymore. Since there is no screen to display any information, is there a suggestion for me? Thanks,
Mark June 29, 2013 for Model Number zenith dehumidifer Hi, My Zenith dehumidifier not turn on at all. Even signal light is off. I am not sure if it is the humidity sensor broken. How can I test if the sensor is good or bad? Any suggestion is welcome.
1 Answer Hello Mark, The manufacturer has no publications available on these units. You have to use the wiring diagram on the unit to determine the issue. The full switch should be the first thing checked. If it is operating normally, the board should be checked for burned spots. A few of these I have seen were repaired by replacing the sensors but most issues I have seen are caused by the control board. Read More...

Jason June 20, 2013 for Model Number zenith dehumidifier ZD309 Our dehumidifier does not work well now (bought in June 2010). It maybe still work occasionally. Not quite sure. But it is not the problem with power. Could we try this sensor first? Thanks,
1 Answer Jason, Yes, you could try the sensor first to see if corrects what issue you are having. We are unable to verify for sure what would be the issue as you did not state what the unit is doing currently. Read More...
