The unit shuts off after about 3 minutes of usage and "CH 67" appears on the humidity indicator. It was working fine and suddenly it does not

I gave up on LG dehumidifiers. The original broke under warranty but it still cost me $75 to replace it. That was the service department charge to tell me it was shot. The replacement LG died within a year. I have switched to another brand which works well.

This unit is the worst appliance evey made. Shame on LG. the unit is garbage and I have swapped 4 of them out at Home Depot over the last 2 years. Cheap Chinese made junk.

You can call LG, and hopefully, they'll send you a refurbished working unit, and hopefully, it will last you 2-3 years.

The condenser turns off when the desired level is reached, but not the fan - it runs continuously. Can't say what happens after a power outage - haven't experienced one yet.

I think it's supposed to have an automatic shut off. Maybe yours is not working proper? Send it back.

Unit shuts off when pan is full or humidity level is reached. That includes the fa.

It's probably broken. Mine did the same after 18 months, the defrost cycle ceases to work and the unit just ices up. It stopped making headway against the humidity, the water in the bucket is basically the ice melting a little.I threw mine away. It was a nice dehumidifier while it lasted. Too bad it's not built well.

I would make sure the electrical outlet works - plug a light or something in it. If the unit won't even light up, it's defective/broken. If it's the condenser(?) motor that doesn't start, try reducing the desired humidity with the down arrow as low as it will go.

Purchased my humidifier in Nov 2014. Cleaned and replaced everything I should EXCEPT I went for value and used the replacement granules rather than buying the whole cartridge. My humidifier hasn't worked right since. The 'refilling' part was easy - really easy but it shuts off and the 'cleaning' light always comes on after a few minutes of use. I called Air-O-Swiss and he suggested taking some of the granules out and I did - still have the same issue. (I did this twice) I'm going to buy the whole replacement cartridge again to see if this fixes the problem - if not I guess I got a crappy unit.

Just received 2 units. One shuts off after 30 seconds, the other 10 seconds. The 10 second unit is going back.

Charles,The unit has been a little disappointing, but not enough to return it. The humidity it measures is about 15% off, so I just compensate for that. If you set it for 60%, the compressor and fan will run until it reaches 57%, which seemed a bit odd to me. The unit does not measure temp, as was advertised. The fan does shut off once it has overachieved on the desired setting.

does the unit have an automatic humidity level shutoff and on feature that you can set?

seems to be a problem with some of these units. mine will do that every once an awhile right now it is not doing that . I think it has something to do with moisture in the unit and temperature

I just checked my Dehumidifier unit and the Fan does shut off when the humidity is reached. My unit is running very well. I had two 40 Pint units and replaced them with one 30 pint unit in just the one room in the basement and it is easily maintaining the humidity level around 40 - 45%. Another point I will mention is that I received 2 checks today for the units that were recalled due to overheating. My 2 units did not overheat, but I guess it might have happened eventually. They were a few years old.

I think it has to do something with the unit getting too hot and damaging the motor, but I never experienced the shutdown.

I push the + and - buttons on the top to set the humidity level. Make sure your machine is on "normal". If it is set to turbo or continuous, it will run continuously instead of automatically shutting off when the humidity is low, so the + and - buttons don't work.

The unit is a simple switch. You set the humidity at the desired level, and the switch CLOSES when it reaches that level. Your outside H<50% won't turn on the fan, it will turn off the fan. But you could have the outside H<50% control a relay to do this I think.

Yes the machine will automatically shut off, then start again when needed. Set the desired humidity level, fan speed, etc. and forget it... Well make sure the drain hose is attached and to a continuous drain otherwise you'll have to empty the bucket provided.

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.
