Question: Drained my unit with hose. 3 weeks later empty tank light was on and tank was full.  What's happening?
Document: It's quiet--I often can't tell if it's running. When the humidity is up, typical in Northern Virginia, the tank fills daily. It's easy enough to remove and empty the reservoir. Just be aware that a full reservoir can be a bit heavy--water is not light. Its footprint is small. I will have to revisit this critique after I have had the unit for a year. But for now, it is everything I wanted in a dehumidifier.
first unit came damaged but amazon sent another to replace it in 2 days, does the job of keeping the basement dry.have it hooked up to the hose bid for continuous draining.nice unit quiet and clean, using it for about 3 weeks now and the basement is dry. The filter light is a nice feature to let you know when its time for a little maintenance. Overall a solid purchase money well spent
My spouse attached a hose to it, which leads to the utility drain in the basement, so we do not have to remember to empty the tank. However, it does have a large 16.3 pint tank. This unit is rated as Energy Star, so I am hoping that we see a decrease in our electric bill in comparison to running the ancient dehumidifier that we were previously using.
I needed a dehumidifier for my basement and thought this would be a good option so I ordered it. Here is what I found:1. Nice design.2. Good handles to move it with.3. Worked for 2 days without issues.Here is what I did not like:1. After working for two days, the unit started having a puddle of water under it. Yes, I had drained the holding tank.
When the tank is full the unit automatically stops running and the red full light is on, but doesn't turn off judging from the illuminated panel (you can only turn it off when it's running).The unit has side grips and a beefy lift-up handle nested in the top for moving it around easily on its wheels. Even thought the tank has top and bottom recesses to steady it, you still have to be careful removing the filled tank so as not to jar it and spill some water.
This water line can only be perceived in very bright direct light. Otherwise you have to pull out the drawer-like reservoir to gauge how close it is to needing to be emptied.There are 3 fan speeds.There's a feature to digitally set the humidity sensor to whatever % level you desire.The unit automatically shuts itself off and stops running as soon as the 2-gallon reservoir is full--about 6 to 8 hours run time. An LED light blinks to alert you.
I received this in 2 days (thank you Amazon Prime)...set it up in my humid damp Tennessee basement crawl area....2,000 square feet, 7 feet high...and 3 weeks later it is humming away steadily, and humidity dropped from over 80% to 60% in about 4 days, and has held solid.
I did a TON of research for 3 weeks on these and even got a subscription to consumerreports.org just to read full reviews. This model was reviewed but maybe a slightly different model number (don't remember). While this didn't get the top reating it was near the top. I made a spreadsheet and everything as this was serious money and I had to do my best to buy the right unit.
This unit is NOISY!...had a loud buzz noise that was separate from the compressor and fan noise. 3 stars for doing it's job as it did manage to pull out alot of moisture! Did seem to leak when I would pull out the tank to empty, but maybe they all do that? The humidity level never seemed to be right or reach the 45% I would keep it on.
I have only positive things to say about the Frigidaire Dehumidifier. With 2 large saltwater fish tanks in a small apartment, we have our share of humidity issues (plus bad apartment insulation and construction doesn't help). This unit is VERY quiet. You do not hear the motor running, simply the fan blowing out air.The dehumidifier pulls off a full tank in less than 24 hours, so we have to empty it twice a day.
Answer: Consumer Reports said in 2012 that there was an issue with some Frigidaire models where they would drain into the tank instead of the hose. They said Frigidaire has a fix kit they will send out for free. Try contacting Frigidaire...
