I have a GE one that looks almost exactly like the but wasn’t in the recall. It seems they overheat. During the summer when it’s humid, the thing is running pretty much 24/7 and while it reduces humidity, it blasts out heat.
But, every 8 hours or so it shuts down for ~20 minutes. Never understood why. I now suspect it’s because it needs to cool down. I’d guess that the component that triggers the cool down is faulty in these listed units.
- xkcd-sucks 3y agoUsually it's because the cooling coils ice over (up to the point of completely blocking airflow... which could cause overheating) and the downtime is to let this ice melt

- op00to 3y agoHow hot? A dehumidifier will typically raise the temperature of the air flowing through it by 10 degrees F or so.
