Why is my Honeywell TrueDRY DR65 dehumidifier freezing up?

If the evaporator coil is continuously frosted and the dehumidifying capacity is low, the reasons could be a defrost thermostat that is loose or defective, a low refrigerant charge, or dirty air filter(s) or restricted airflow. For more information, see page 16 of the manual.

Why is my Honeywell TrueDRY DR65 dehumidifier not collecting water?

If your dehumidifier is not collecting water, several issues could be the cause:If neither the fan nor compressor runs and the ventilation timer is OFF, the unit might be unplugged or have no power to the outlet, the humidity control might be set too high or be defective, there could be a loose connection in internal or control wiring, a defective compressor relay, a defective control transformer, or an optional condensate pump safety switch might be open.If the compressor does not run but the fan runs when there is a call for dehumidification and the ventilation control is OFF, there might be a defective compressor run capacitor, a bad connection in the compressor circuit, a defective compressor overload, a defective compressor, a defrost thermostat that is open, or an optional condensate pump safety switch that is open.If the unit removes some water but not as much as expected, the air temperature and/or humidity may have dropped, the humidity meter or thermometer used may be out of calibration, the unit may have entered a defrost cycle, the air filter may be dirty, the defrost thermostat may be defective, there might be a low refrigerant charge, an air leak such as a loose cover or ducting leaks, a defective compressor, restrictive ducting, or an optional condensate pump safety switch might be open.

Why is my Honeywell TrueDRY DR65 dehumidifier not draining properly through the hose?

Why does my Honeywell TrueDRY DR65 dehumidifier not stay on?

If your dehumidifier does not stay on, or cycles on and off too frequently, it could be due to several reasons:If the fan runs but the compressor cycles on and off too frequently when there is a call for dehumidification and the ventilation control is OFF, it might be due to low ambient temperature and/or humidity causing the unit to cycle through defrost mode, a defective compressor overload, a defective compressor, a defrost thermostat that is defective, dirty air filter(s) or restricted airflow, or a low refrigerant charge.If the fan does not run with ventilation activated and the compressor runs briefly but cycles on and off with the humidity control turned to ON, there could be a loose connection in the fan circuit, an obstruction preventing fan rotation, a defective fan, a defective fan relay, or a defective fan capacitor.
