• Let me start by explaining what “defrost” means in relation to dehumidifiers and why it’s necessary. Basically your dehumidifier is a refrigeration system plus a fan. The refrigeration system is just like the one in your kitchen fridge. It has three main parts, a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser. A fluid, called a “refrigerant”, is contained in a sealed system to which these three parts are all connected. The compressor applies pressure to the refrigerant which then travels to the evaporator. The pressure is instantly released and the refrigerant evaporates in a small fraction of a second. As it evaporates it absorbs heat and cools the surface of the evaporator. The fan draws air into the dehumidifier and it passes across the cold surface of the evaporator. Water vapour in the air condenses onto the cold evaporator and drips into the water bucket. The air flow continues across the condenser where the refrigerant is returned to a liquid state. The condensing process warms the surface of the condenser which is why the air that comes out of a dehumidifier is warmer than when it went in. When the air in your room falls below a certain temperature, about 64°F, some of the water condensing on to the evaporator will turn to ice before it has time to drip into the bucket. If you were to look at the evaporator when this is happening you would see the ice forming a “frost” on the coils. As the frost builds up it insulates the compressor and reduces the amount of water vapour condensing on it. If this went on unchecked the dehumidifier would eventually be damaged. To protect the dehumidifier and to enable it to remove more water from the air the dehumidifier must stop cooling the evaporator coil to allow the ice to melt. A sensor detects the formation of ice, triggers a switch which turns off the compressor and the evaporator is no longer cooled. The fan continues to run so that the flow of air from the room can pass over the evaporator and assist with the thawing process. This is called “auto-defrost” and when the defrost light shows on the dehumidifier this means that the defrosting cycle has been activated and is proceeding. So it never turns on “RANDOMLY” it happens to keep the device from breaking.
• We bought this over the weekend for water in our basement from constant rain, so far its sucking out water like its supposed to. Easy to set up, easy to empty. We haven’t attached a hose we’re just emptying several times a day but it does shut itself off when its full. It runs very quietly, so far I’m happy with it.
• Unit pulls 70 pints of water out the air in a day, Bucket will not hold 70 pints. Brought this to replace my 45 pint Haier which died. A full bucket will not even fill up the 45 pint bucket from the old one. Still trying to get the old one serviced but no one will work on it. Called Haier service thru Sears and was informed they don’t work on them anymore the just replace them if they are still in warranty after that best to just buy a new one.
• So far this dehumidifier has been working well in my basement. It has removed the humidity and there is no more damp smell in the basement. The bucket fills up about twice a day so I check it first thing in the morning and a night to dump the water out.
• The dehumidifier does a good job in my basement. The only thing is that it does not shut itself off after reaching the programmed humidity. The fan continues to run for no reason.
• The case was put together incorrectly, it was noisy, and it leaked.
