Does a Frigidaire 70 pint dehumidifier automatically restart after a power failure or does it have to be manually restarted? Owned another brand that had to be manually restarted and definitely do not want another w/o auto restart. null

I can't speak for a power outage specifically, but after reading this question, I unplugged it while it was running and let it sit for a good 15 minutes or more. When I plugged it back in, it started running again without having to push the on button. So, my obsevation is yes, it will restart automatically. I hope that helps.

Hi JMK70! After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.Hope this helps! -Thanks!-

We had a power failure not that long ago and it came right back on with no issue for me. I didn't have to do anything.

I had a very brief power outage last week, had to reset the microwave and the oven panel, but the dehumidifier just turned back on. Granted the outage only lasted about 10 seconds, but I didn't have an interruption.

It should restart, since it is a direct on/off. Unless there was a surge to the unit that damaged the circuitry. If you have a GFCI outlet, that may have to be reset to allow current to resume.
