If you have a lack of air flow, the humidity around the unit is high, facilitating mold growth. You can try cleaning dust off the coils too, though that has mixed results. I may have to cut generic filter material to size though, since branded air filters are hard to get in the US.

That’s at least something free or almost free to try. A lack of proper air flow around the unit and inability to pull air through a dirty filter will prevent it from getting enough air flow to not freeze. Before you rush to the store to get a new one, buy replacement air filters for it. Technically, a new working unit does solve the problem of a malfunctioning one. International shipping for a dehumidifier costs more than a new dehumidifier.Įven if you could find a repair person who works on dehumidifiers, the cost of a new coil, if that’s the problem, and adding more refrigerant approaches the cost of a new unit. The greater challenge is finding someone to repair a dehumidifier without having to ship it to one of the few authorized repair centers, unless you’re in the UK. And you can’t get refrigerant at the store anymore. Once that starts to leak, it will continue icing up until it gets too cold to collect condensate. Their dehumidifiers tend to ice up, especially if there is a refrigerant leak. I need your advice on Blyss dehumidifier problems.
