Sears has a humidifier made for low temperature use but you don't have

right model. If you want to see if it works take it to a warm spot and

it in the always on setting and see what happens. By the way the
refrigeration unit is probably warrantied for 5 years though the new
units
have a shorter warranty. Some other brands warranty the whole unit 5
years
with labor.

I have a Sears dehumidifier like this one...

http://tinyurl.com/ah93g

It's about 3 years old.

It's not running right now, and I'm trying to determine if there is
something wrong with it, or if it is because the humidity is low and
it
is designed to not run based on the humidity setting. It has a
humidity control on it that is set on 40%. We live in SW Indiana, so
it's not too humid now. However, the basement is damp right now and
the dehumidifer isn't kicking on. I'll probably wait until Spring to
see if it will come on and replace it then if it is broken. However,
I
was wondering if anyone has advice on something to check inside the
dehumifier to see if any of the components need to be replaced.

Thanks,

Ryan


One simple way to test it is to put it in your bathroom while you are
taking a long shower. This will overcome any possible inaccuracy on
its detector.
