Thought I'd post this issue I've had recently. My basement dehumidifier smoked and quit dehumidifying.
Fan would run but evidently the compressor quit.
So I did some troubleshoot searching and found this recall.....
Gree Recalls 12 Brands of Dehumidifiers Due to Serious Fire and Burn Hazards; More Than $2 Million in Property Damage Reported
They made a lot of the "brand names" so you just may want to check yours.
Wouldn't you know it though, mine is not in their fire hazard recall list. Date code on it is later and they will do nothing. So I got two years out of this Shyneese garbage that I purchased at Menards. My old Sears lasted 23 years.
I opened it up and sure enough this thing got hot. Fortunate it didn't burn down the house!
