Product Description
Humidistat Control Specifications
This is a humidistat control for a dehumidifier. The humidistat on your dehumidifier responds to the humidity in the air to determine if the appliance should continue to dehumidify or shut off, based on the desired humidity level. This control needs to be replaced if the dehumidifier wont shut off when the desired humidity level is reached. This part is approximately 3.5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. The part will be easy to replace, simply remove the front cover, remove the humidistat from the bracket, and remove the two push-on wire connectors. Reverse this process to reinstall the control. Be sure to disconnect power to the dehumidifier before completing this repair.

ANNE
October 17, 2019
The coils just started freezing up shortly after it is turned on. It is in a basement that is about 72 degrees. We have had this unit many years and love the big tank and the amount of water it pulls out of the air.
For model number White Westinghouse MDH40YW1

Hi Anne, if the room is above 65 degrees, then you will want to check the air flow, make sure there is room around the unit. Check for debris and build up and clean the unit. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

Unit would run continuously and not shut off
Removed the front cover and then the humidistat from the bracket. Two push on wire connectors and then reversed. Very straightforward and excellent part matching. Given the prices for new dehumidifiers it was great to breathe life back into this unit which does its job well. Thanks for the easy to use web site and fast fast service!

Dehumidifier would not shut off
First I pulled the top/side cover off. Disconnected the terminals from the old unit, unscrewed the old unit, and put the terminals on the new unit. Then I put the side/top cover back on, screwed the new humidistat unit into the front cover and then popped and screwed the front cover back in place. Customer service was excellent and order was received promptly as promised. Highly recommend Parts Select!

Dehumidfier wouldn't turn off.
First I removed the two control knobs and the two screws that hold the front cover in place and then the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Then I reconnected the new humidistat and put everything back together. Works just fine, now.
