Richard - For model number AD50G1
May 16, 2023
The front evaporator coil 'freezes up' when the unit is turned on.
Hello Richard, thank you for contacting us. The issue is caused when good airflow is not maintained and the evaporator fan is not working. Check to see if your fan motor is operational. Turn the fan blade by hand to ensure that it spins freely. Make sure that the fan blade is not rubbing against the fan housing as it turns. If the fan blade spins freely, test the fan motor with a multimeter for continuity. If the fan motor is getting power but the dehumidifier fan won’t run or the fan motor does not have continuity, then the fan motor is likely defective. You may need to replace the fan motor, part number PS557949. We hope this helps.
