A:Answer1. Try to reset the unit. (Unplug for 1 minute and press and hold power button while it's off) that plug it back in and see if works.
2. If you are a bit handy and can get to compressor to tao it, it may work.
3. If none of the above works, I say don't waste your time and money and just get a new one. By the time you bring it to repair shop and pay for diagnostic just to find out it will cost 2/3 of a new unit to repair.
A:AnswerDefinitely needs to vent to outside, otherwise you're just blowing hot air back into room. Comes with vent and panel for window. Also need to provide drainage for water removed from air. I use bucket and a plastic tube. Water drainage tube is NOT provided but essential. I pour out about gallon water per week
A:AnswerThere is a water container in the unit that is easily emptied with the drain spout on the back of the unit. I only have to empty about a cup of water every couple of days.
A:AnswerI had to buy my stuff at Home Depot (I'm sure you can get these items at Lowes also). You need a hose with a 1/2" INNER diameter. You also need a hose clamp to put over the hose at the drain plug. The hose and clamp maybe cost $5 together.
And yes, it does have a dehumidify-only setting.
