Why does my LG dehumidifier not collect water?
If your dehumidifier is not collecting water even though the room temperature is over 65 degrees Fahrenheit, there may be an issue with the capacitor in the compressor circuit. The compressor circulates refrigerant through the unit to remove moisture from the air, which collects in the bucket.
How do I reset my LG dehumidifier?
Unplug the dehumidifier for 10 seconds to reset the unit. Restore power to the unit. If the issue occurs again, the unit will require repair service.

What does it mean when your dehumidifier is not running?
Capacitor If your dehumidifier is no longer pulling water from the air and you have verified that the ambient room temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit, then the unit’s compressor may not be running. The compressor is the pump that circulates the refrigerant through the evaporator to extract moisture from the air.
Do dehumidifiers stop collecting water when the tank is full?
Dehumidifiers are signed such that they will alert you when the water tank is full. In many cases, you’ll hear a sound, while in others, an LED will light up. However, you may not know that the dehumidifier is also designed to stop collecting water when the tank is full.
How to fix a dehumidifier that won’t blow air?
Remove the filter and check to make sure it’s not the culprit. If dirt has collected in the filter, the fan will have a hard time blowing air. Also check the coils. Dirt can also get trapped in the coils, thereby preventing air from circulating. Try to open the fan area. Turn the dehumidifier in fan setting only.
Can you run a dehumidifier in a basement?
If you run the dehumidifier when room temperature is at 65 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, its coils will freeze. That will stop the unit from running. Using the right size of dehumidifier is also important. If you use a small dehumidifier in a basement, that will not be able to keep up with the moisture removal demands of this space.
