Can I save this dehumidifier? It stopped filling up. Quick assessment
We regularly see dehumidifiers that are "not removing water from the air." This video shares basic information that may be used to decide if repair is possible and tools that help us do that in a few minutes without opening the unit. We assume the unit powers up. Most do.
Most brands of dehumidifiers are made by a few companies.

Spoiler: I use a power meter and a thermal camera to do this assessment which makes this look like a magic trick.
The same technique is possible without special tools if you listen for the rumbling and feel the vibration of the compressor coming on. Then you need to open the case to see frost forming on the coils. A non-contact thermometer might work in a pinch.

The owner's comment on this one was: "The brush roller won't spin". Spoiler alert, there was a break in the wire. I fixed it. I sped through the disassembly and slowed down to show the fault and fix. Like all my videos, this is primarily to show the owner what was wrong with it, so don't expect a great "how to". This is the cleanest vacuum I EVER got to work on, including my own.

  • @robwebnoid5763
    @robwebnoid5763 23 дні тому

    It would be nice & maybe even more convenient, fast & elegant, if someone invented nichrome sleeve tube crimps, so that all you have to do is insert the broken wires together into the tiny nichrome butt connector tubes & then mechanically crimp them together with pliers. It might even have some borax inside the tubes to help fuse for a more solid chemical connection. Another idea is to buy proper gauge nichrome wire, make a tiny spiral of it (like a spring you find inside a pen) as a butt connector, pull the broken wires together inside the spiral & then also try to crimp the spiral, but I dont know how long that will last. I just recently found my toaster has also broke the center heating wires. Not only that, but also the mica sheet has broken, so if I am to repair this, I would probably have to do a full disassembly, & there are possibly places in the inside metal frame that are riveted, not screwed, which that itself is going to be a teardown problem in itself. I had already repaired this toaster 6 years earlier, so at least I lengthened its life further. If all else fails, then time to buy a new toaster, heh. 10/25/24

      Sometimes 1 GFCI handles multiple outlets. Try unplugging everything else that goes dead when the GFCI Trips. They tolerate a tiny bit of "leakage" but it is possible your toaster is just the "last straw" with other devices "leaking" just a little as well.

  • @davidwhite9453
    @davidwhite9453 2 місяці тому

    Cannot understand why there would be any negative comments! People can be such a**holes sometimes. We have exactly the same toaster and it worked for about a decade before this started. Anyhow, tried all of this and tested it with the cover off but still connected and it seems to stay down. Woo hoo! However, with the cover back on it does not. I took it apart and tried this again at least 3 times with that same, screwball result. We have another one just like it new in the box. I think I am just going to trash/recycle the old one. Life is too short! On thing on the video, the knob doesn't have to be removed. Thanks! Like that small dog which won't let go of your pants leg, I went back again. It turns out the reason why it worked with the cover off and not when on is that the slot in the cover tends to force the level to the right side. This pulls the metal tab that snicks under the white, plastic hook so that it simply was not making good contact with the hook. I did two things: (1) I removed the magnet/hook assembly - easy to do - just 2 screws and the small wire plug - and using a small dremel tool accentuated the hook's angle. (2) I grabbed the metal tab with a pliers and carefully bent it to the left. These two mod's give it enough solid contact to work again. Best!

    well I'm bummed.. I wanted to see how you even got to that switch, what had to come apart and how to put it together again, my switch is stuck in the ON position so the contacts are probably fused, I just don't want to take stuff apart that might lead to pieces flying across the room as I see 2 springs sticking out of the power head

  • @jaybingham3711
    @jaybingham3711 3 місяці тому

    Hello. I have a Rowenta VU2631U2 desk fan. The user manual is available on Rowenta. I was attempting to disassemble it to do a thorough cleaning. To do that requires removing the oscillating pin pull knob/handle (which flairs out for grip) in order to slip the housing off. Looking at other repair videos of different fans, many can be removed via a screw or a hard tug. This unit doesn't have a screw. And I have tugged as hard as I could...but to no avail. I called Rowenta. But nobody there has any ideas. And that's where I'm stuck. Just looking for ideas. Maybe Rowenta glues their knobs on. Thoughts?

    • @twincitiesfixit
      @twincitiesfixit 13 днів тому

      Sorry for the delayed response... I do not know your specific fan but sometimes I am surprised at how hard you have to pull the knobs that don't have screws, to get them to release. I am always afraid I will break it but then when I am working on them, they are already broken so I go for it. If you do get the back of the fan off be sure to remove the oscillator (a couple screws) and lubricate the back bushing.

    • @jaybingham3711
      @jaybingham3711 13 днів тому

      @twincitiesfixit Yeah...I went for it...with full aggression/force. No luck. The only solution I could think of was to take a hacksaw to the flared top...converting it to just a post that the plastic housing could slip right over. It worked. Upon getting a look at the insides, it appears this unit utilizes a crank case design. [I have limited, to virtually no mechanic skills. That's the verbiage I settled on...though it's probably incorrect.] It's my guess that because of that, the fan made use of a permanently affixed knob because the manufacturer deliberately wanted to keep people from a full teardown. This unit is different from most of the fans shown on various YT repair videos. [It's also not cheap. Brand new: $80-$100! A 12-inch desk fan!! Maybe it's typical that the more expensive models make use of a crank case. I got it from my daughter. You'd never catch me making such a ridiculous purchase!] The only accessible/serviceable bearing is the front one. Of course it is! But you could not know this for certain...without doing what I did. The back part of the shaft is enclosed within the metal housing of the crank case. A bit of oil from that housing had seeped out over the years. I cleaned that up. Oiled the front bearing. Shaved/filed the black plastic post to make it uniform. Wrapped the worked-on part in black duct tape to improve grip...and make it look pretty. And Bob's your uncle. Works...and looks (a few feet away)...like brand new. Thank you for your reply. I'm going to see if I can find a video of someone mentioning/working on this type of design. In the meantime, I hope this helps someone avoid the hassle I went through.

    • @twincitiesfixit
      @twincitiesfixit 4 місяці тому

      Yes, It is physically possible to add a tap and "fix" by charging it but it will still leak or leak again. Leaving leaky stuff in service is not okay. We know better than to do that these days. If you're not worried about the environment, what value do you put on your time? It is just not worth it. We need to find and buy better stuff so the market for the "crap" dries up.

    • @twincitiesfixit
      @twincitiesfixit 5 місяців тому

      A stiff blade needs to be oiled. Good news if it is getting hot, it is still "trying". A few drops of 3-in-1 or some other oil would be best. WD-40 is fine for cleaning and short term lubrication but I would use something else for lasting lubrication. Thy to get the oil on the shaft on both sides (front and back) of the motor. Look for a little "peek-a-boo" hole above the shaft to drip the oil in.

      There is a separate boiler for the Keurig side. There is a thermal switch that turns the power on and off when temp is reached.

      I wish I had a dime for every time we "fixed" something by cleaning it.

    Will you be at an upcoming Fix-It Clinic? We have an electric kettle that we'd love help troubleshooting.

      I am at every Fix-It Clinic, unless I am out of town or there is a conflict between counties (I can't be in 2 places at once) but there are lots of talented (smarter than me) folks who volunteer. Bring it in. (Breaking news: I just missed the WA Co clinic due to illness. First time ever)

    It’s a kettle, not a teapot, coffee pot.

      Actually, I just repeat whatever the client calls it. Most of them we see are being used for tea.
