APEL70LWL1 General Electric Dehumidifier - Overview

Hi Mark, Thank you for your question. If the compressor is not starting, then it is not being signaled by the float assembly and switch. This dehumidifier part contacts the float switch when the bucket is full of water to prevent the unit from overflowing. To troubleshoot your dehumidifier, make sure the float assembly is not blocked, so that it can move around freely and come in contact with the float switch when it should. If the part appears to be damaged, you should replace it. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
