This unit works great! The only complaint is that it's a bit loud.

This worked perfectly on myElectrolux (Frigidaire) over the counter microwave. A little difficult tio install due to the location of the back screws but that is no fault of the seller. Arrived quickly and well packaged,

Used this in a GE refrigerator (TPX24PBDAWW) which had started a slow drip of water out of the front dispenser immediately after use. The pic doesn't show it but the unit came with the wires installed between the 2 red and blue terminals.

This is an update- my dehumidifier died after one day use- prior, I was told it was not a recalled one- I contacted Frigidaire thinking they would say tough , your loss bc I didn't open the thing for a year- I told them what happened, still had packaging, etc.- nice lady said the warranty was in effect- yay! They sent me my money back- they get 5 stars for customer service- I am grateful-

I fixed my own freezer!
Wish I had known this info before I did it, as I would have saved about fifty bucks.

If you have a freezer that *isn't freezing*, it is often because it isn't defrosting. (The frost buildup blocks the airflow past the cooling fins.)

#1  The Defrost Timer ( Frigidaire 297318010 Defrost Timer) is VERY likely to give out eventually. It is just a mechanical timer, so it has a small motor that can go bad or its metal contacts can get fouled by the normal arcing that happens as it switches from refrigerate to defrost mode and back. This is super easy to get to and replace from the back of the refrigerator/freezer. It's about ten to fifteen bucks, so it's a cheap easy fix. (To diagnose, look for the little dial that you can turn. If you turn it, it will click and the freezer should turn off, then turn it just a little more and it should turn back on. If that happens, the contacts are fine. (If it doesn't turn the freezer off and on, then the contacts are fouled - so replace the timer.) If the contacts are fine, next mark a line on the dial and move it to the 12 o'clock position. Wait a few hours and come back and check it. If it is still in the 12 o'clock position, then the motor on the timer is dead, and you need to replace it. If however the timer has turned to, say, 2 o'clock, then the timer is still good and it is very likely that there is a different cause for the freezer to have stopped.

#2  This Thermostat ( Frigidaire 297318010 Defrost Timer ) is located inside the freezer, behind the bottom back panel, near the heat exhanger that looks like a radiator. (On mine, it was at the upper left corner of the heat exchanger.) The thermostat is fairly easy to get to, and you can replace it for about ten bucks. (Especially if it looks bloated or like it came apart at all, just replace it.) To get to it, remove the shelves, and unscrew the panel. Pull the dial for the temperature selector straight off, and unclip the temp selector from the panel. There will likely be a LOT of ice behind it, if you haven't already defrosted the unit.  If you still have to defrost it, unplug the freezer and place a fan inside of it (up on a couple boards to  keep it out of the melting water). Leave the door open and the fan going for a couple hours and the ice will all be gone, easily, except for the water all over the floor... I'd defrost it in the garage, or outside if possible.

#3  The defrost heater / heating element ( Frigidaire 216730700 Defrost Heater for Freezer ) is located under the heat exchanger, and is attached with some thin aluminum strips. It shouldn't really go bad, so I'd try replacing the above two items first. But if they don't fix it... well here's another forty or fifty bucks to throw at fixing the problem. Be careful with the aluminum strips that hold the defrost heater in place, and you can re-use them. (If they break, do NOT use a non-aluminum wire to hold it in place, or you could ruin your freezer!)

Other diagnostics:  (I haven't done these, but they came up in my searches and fixes.)
  If the fan doesn't run inside, that's a fairly obvious thing to replace, and looks to be pretty easy. Be sure to cycle the defrost timer to check it.
  If there is just not enough cooling, but there is no frost buildup and the fan works, then the temperature selector might be the problem.
  If the compressor doesn't run, there is a capacitor that I've seen come up as a replacement part.
  If nothing works at all - no lights, no fan, no compressor, then you might have had a power surge that blew out the computer board.

I purchased this dehumidifier in November of 2013.  Thus far, it has been a great dehumidifier. I can pull it from room to room if necessary.  I really like that this unit has a digital readout of the humidity level in the room.  The "bucket" is easy to remove and empty and it shuts off automatically when the "bucket" is full.  The 30 pint size is perfect for me to lift and empty when it is full of water.  I would not want to be handling a larger bucket.

Recall involving 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, 65 and 70-pint dehumidifiers with brand names Danby, DeLonghi, Fedders, Fellini, Frigidaire, GE, Gree, Kenmore, Norpole, Premiere, Seabreeze, SoleusAir and SuperClima.  Check your existing model as well as confirm the brand/model and most importantly, date of manufacturer of the new one you intend to purchase.

Since I am actively researching dehumidifiers I've been reading every thing about the different brands.  Longevity/durability is a primary concern since I have now fixed my LG whose longevity is limited to (1) season without repair!!  (*Side note:  Pls. do yourself a favor ... complete a thorough review on LG's mid/large capacity dehumidifiers, especially those sold by one of the big box stores).

I want to pass on the following recall information from the Consumer Product Safety Division (CPSD):  "Gree Reannounces Dehumidifier Recall Due to Serious Fire and Burn Hazards; More Fires and Property Damage Reported "

About 2.5 million units in the United States and 55,000 in Canada have been recalled (This recall was first announced in September 2013, updated in October 2013 and expanded in January 2014 and May 2014).  In Jan 2014 GREE added another 350,000 GE units.  The brand name and the pint capacity are printed on the front of the dehumidifier. The model number and date code are printed on a sticker on the back, front or side of the unit. The dehumidifiers are white, beige, gray or black plastic and measure between 19 and 24 inches tall, 13 and 15 inches wide, and 9 and 11 inches deep.

I was surprised to learn that GREE manufactures many (most) of the name brand dehumidifiers on the market today.  It you got to the CPSD web site or simply search on GREE Recall you can find all the specifics as to brands & models impacted, dates of manufacture, etc.  Additionally GREE has a recall site when you can enter all your product information.  It is appropriately titled: Gree Humidifier Recall (all one word)

*Be sure to double check the latest update/expansion of the recall information (May 2014) also*

Will not be purchasing another Frigidaire product. Less than a week after the one year warranty expired the dehumidifier stopped working with an error "F0". I call there customer service and they said there is nothing they can do. Save your money and buy something else.

This part was challenting to replace it on our Frigidaire refrigerator but I think it was worth the savings. My husband and I watched  internet video which was very helpful. It took 2 hrs. Due to the design, it was difficult to get into replacement area.  We woud do it again.

Incorrect R/H humidity reading when having Frigidaire dehumidifier reading side by. The margin of error is 20% comparing the reading side by side to Frigidaire.

Purchased this Feb. 2017 as replacement for Frigidaire unit involved in recall.  Unit started showing F0 error codes in August.  There are rust stains on the discharge pipe as others have indicated.  The unit is located in the basement, and conditions are within specifications.  Contacted Frigidaire, who indicated that I would qualify for a "buy-back", which is fine, and which I received.  Appears that most reviews are based upon items recently purchased, so they do NOT reflect failure after several months of use.  The failure rate seems to be very high for this unit, so I am leery of buying another.  I want something to work for the long term.  Anyone have suggestions for an alternate 70 pint unit?

I bought the 40 pint version of this Whirlpool dehumidifier last September and it did indeed dehumidify when the outside temp was 50 degrees. It rested during the winter (I live in northern Virginia) and I tried to get it going this past May and no luck. I took it to a very reputable repair shop and they declared it dead. $200 down a rathole.

We also bought a Whirlpool dishwasher a couple years ago. As far as brand names go, it might as well be an Ajax brand model. It has never gotten dishes half as clean as the old avocado green one we had in the 1970's. Now we're looking for a fridge, and it's not going to be a Whirlpool.

I started getting the dreaded error message E64 on my Frigidare Affinity Dryer.  My dryer would still heat up but about half way through the cycle would quit.  You could restart it and it would go halfway through the cycle and quit again.  I googled the area and first found that it could be the heating coils but that didn't make much since as I didn't think it would heat up so effectively if that was the case.  I did more research and found that it could be the thermostat and the heat safety part Frigidaire 3204267 Safety Thermostat for Dryer.  My fiance has some electrical experience and replaced both parts fairly easily.  It took him approximately 2 hours.  He followed directions that were easily found.  I highly recommend going this route first if you have a little bit of fix it skills.  Costs a lot less than a service call.  The coils aren't difficult to get at if it turns out to be the problem.

The stores where I previously purchased these from have all discontinued carrying the product.  The inernet was the only place I could find replacements.  Since both my dehumidifiers are in good working order, there was no need to replace the units since they only needed cleaned and fitler replacement.

I love my dehumidifier! We keep it in a bathroom that the toilet used to sweat a lot in the summer. Not any more!

I've lived in Minnesota for most of my life and and a dehumidifier is a must for a basement with living spaces. Our previous dehumidifier finally bit the dust after 11 years, so we were definitely overdue for an upgrade. Our basement tends to be quite humid during the summer months, so we were especially attracted to this unit's ability to remove 95 pints-per-day.

The Frigidaire FAD954DWD Dehumidifier weighs approximately 89 pounds at the time of shipping and approximately 69 pounds after it's unboxed. If you struggle to lift items of those weights by yourself, be sure to have a helper handy when you set up your new dehumidifier.

Once you unbox the unit, you should find two small accessory boxes. One will contain the four casters that need to be installed on the bottom of the unit and the other will contain the drainage joint that you'll use to connect a garden hose for running the dehumidifier in continuous operation mode. Once you get all of the plastic and tape off the unit and get the casters installed, remember to leave the dehumidifier upright for at least an hour before plugging it in and turning it on.

You can control the humidity setting manually or use one of the automated modes (sleeping space-55% RH, living space-50% RH, basement-45% RH).

The filter needs to be cleaned every two weeks or after approximately 250 hours of operation. You can easily remove the grill cover from the front of the unit to gain access to the filter. Remove the filter and clean with water. Let it air dry before you reinstall it. Once you replace the filter and turn the dehumidifier back on, you'll simply need to press the filter button to reset the filter light.

The Frigidaire FAD954DWD Dehumidifier has a good mix of features and is substantially more affordable than some similarly sized units. Overall, a good value at a reasonable price. My rating is 5 out of 5 stars.

I just bought this AD50USR Whirlpool dehumidifier, and it must have recently undergone a redesign because I have no problem with the noise level.

I am dehumidifying a basement, and the model I am getting rid of had metal-on-metal construction. I used to be able to hear the unit running when I was on the first floor, but no longer.

The Whirlpool has a thick plastic housing and feels like it's packed with insulation (fair size, little weight). I think the Whirlpool people got the feedback about the noise and did something about it. Nevertheless, this is a unit meant for the basement. You can plug it in wherever you want, but silent operation may have been compromised for low-temperature functionality? I'm no appliance designer, but that's just my sense of it.

My only complaint so far is the lack of a humidistat: it has "normal dry" and "max dry" modes, but no definition of what that precisely means in the documentation in terms of moisture, and no readout to tell you how moist the air is currently.
