constructordeguitarras -> Dehumidifier Dilemma (Jun. 26 2013 4:04:03)
|
Seattle, WA, USA, where I live is very rainy and lately it has been very humid, rainy, and warm (for Seattle, 72 degrees F). I have relied on a Kenmore (Sears) brand dehumidifier for about 20 years to keep my basement shop at about 45% relative humidity (except when it has flooded, then I used a Shop Vac, too). For about 20 years I never had a problem with my dehumidifier. Then this week it wasn't working very well. Moisture was condensing on the outside and it wasn't keeping the air dry enough. So I put it on top of an upturned bucket in the laundry sink. Then I took off the cover and discovered a three-inch thick block of ice over the coils. I just finished getting rid of the ice with a hair dryer and it seems to be working okay now. Does anyone know why this happened?
