Mine started doing the same thing. I feel that these are just not quality products. I have added a large fan blowing on it, with ample clearances and room temps are +20 celcius. Still full of ice. I bought another brand dehumidifier, hopefully it doesnt do the same thing. I got 3 years out of it. What a waste.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The automatic defrost function has failed. It's possibly a failed temperature sensor that shuts off the compressor and keeps the fan running to melt frost buildup - or the electronics. Time to replace it. No one seems willing to repair these dehumidifiers (regardless of brand). Mine did the same thing during warranty and built up a mound of ice on the back before I discovered it. Best Buy replaced it since it was under warranty.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A dehumidifier needs to have an adequate amount of air blowing across the evaporator and condenser coils to prevent frost or ice buildup. If you feel little or no air coming through the grille area and the filter is clean, then remove the cover and check the fan area.
