Part #WP1168670
The humidistat control, used in dehumidifiers, switches the dehumidifier on and off automatically to maintain humidity. If the switch does not work, the humidifier will not maintain the temperature properly. For this repair, screwdrivers are the only tools needed. First remove the knob and the screws from the top. Pry back the plastic retainers on one side of the old humidistat and remove wires before installing the new part and reattaching the two wires that connect to it. Remember to unplug the humidifier from the power source before installation.

Float Clip
★★★★★
★★★★★
(1)
Part #WP1186430
The float clip works in a humidifier to ensure the float functions properly. The float is located near the humidifier bucket and monitors the water level as it rises and the clip keeps it in place. The float makes sure the water level is balanced and does not over flow. This float triggers the flow switch to shut off. If there is a defect with the clip, it can be a safety hazard as it might not be able to detect and stop an overflow. Make sure to unplug the dehumidifier from the power source before starting this replacement project as a safety precaution.

Zip Tie
Part #WPW10339879
A zip tie, also known as a cable tie or a wire tie, is a fastening device that holds wires or tubing together. If a machine has wires or tubing that are easily shifted, you need to hold them tightly together using a zip tie. It is a flexible, plastic strip that has serrated teeth and a locking mechanism. If the zip tie is damaged, it should be replaced. Freely moving wires may rub against surfaces, causing them to break over time. Zip ties are single-use and may not be reused after they are removed from a machine. To release the locking mechanism, you will need to insert a small flat tool into the head of the zip tie, between the tongue and the serration, and depress the bar. You can then pull the teeth out of the mechanism to loosen the cable tie. This part is produced by the original equipment manufacturer and is sold individually.

Richard - For model number AD50G1
May 16, 2023
The front evaporator coil 'freezes up' when the unit is turned on.
Chris Boyle Profile
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.

The Origional Humidistat Quit Working

  • James from Silver Bay, MN

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 fai led 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!!

Troubleshoot on the schematic/wiring diagram to find the defective thermostat. Order a replacement part. Remove all outer covers to gain access to the thermostat. Only tool needed for this is a #2 phillips screwdriver. Cut the leads on the defective part and remove thermostat and replace thermostat, wire cutters/crimper required, splice the thermostat leads, Reassemble the outer covers.
