How a frigidaire dehumidifier works:

A frigidaire dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the dehumidifier depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.  Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit or out of the louvers on the left side of cabinet. A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. lt may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of water. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.

How It Works:
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 °C), and 96 °F(35 °C). The unit will not work properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will fall greatly. The “Compressor” circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise the unit will not turn on.

Tips for Choosing a Frigidaire Dehumidifier

Frigidaire dehumidifiers come in different sizes and capacities, which determine their coverage. The smallest units have a 25 pint capacity (meaning they can remove 25 pints of water from the air in 24 hours), and work for rooms of 400 square feet or less.  50-pint units are applicable for up to 1,000 square feet, and 70-pint units, generally the largest available for household use, work for up to 1,300 square feet or more.

These rules assume a standard room height of eight feet and an indoor location. Coastal areas tend to be more humid and require about 50% more power. Coverage will also be reduced proportionally for higher ceilings, so a ten-foot-high ceiling will require 25% more power than an eight-foot-high one; a 12-foot-high ceiling will need 50% more; and so on.

Extra features

Traditional dehumidifiers come with adjustable dials that allow you to increase or decrease the power, but not to set the exact humidity level. The Frigidaire FAD504TDD (50 pint) and Frigidaire FAD704TDP (70 pint) models have digital humidistats (moisture level indicators) that let you do that. This is particularly useful if you live in an area that’s prone to dust mites or other pests.

In very humid areas, buckets that can connect to a hose for continuous drainage can come in handy. Otherwise, you may find yourself emptying the bucket every few hours. If you live in a cold climate, an automatic defrost feature may come in handy—it uses a sensor to shut off the machine when frost starts to accumulate.

If it’s for a second home, or one that you don’t stay in regularly, look for an automatic restart feature so it can keep going after a power outage.
