The Origional Humidistat Quit Working
The knob one turns to set the humidity level was removed. The two screws holding the top on were removed. The top was lifted and swung to the side. After noting which of the two wires went where on the humidistat the wires were removed. Small flat screwdrivers were used to pry back the plastic retainers on one side of the original failed humidistat. The new one was put in place, the two wires were reattached. The knob was replaced. The top was positioned and its two retaining screws replaced. A magnetic phillips screwdriver was handy but not necessary. Piece of cake! Someone with ten thumbs could do it!! Thanks for the prompt courteous attention to the returned erroneous part! Dealing with partselect. Com was a pleasure. . . . . . Thanks!! P. S. The dehumidifier works like new now!!

Says bucket full when it was not
The forums indicate that one solution for this problem is replacement of the sensor assembly, which is what I did. Upon switching the sensor assembly it DID work for one bucket full, but then went back to indicating bucket full when it isn't. Other fixes indicate changing the switch assembly, which I tried to do but the part has been discontinued. The only other item is replacement of the main computer, which the cost added to the cost of the sensor assembly would equal the cost of replacement of the appliance, so I won't go there.
