  • Cleaning a General Electric branded 35-pint dehumidifier model ADHL35LAW1. I purchased this unit about 3 years ago, and by some miracle, it's still working to this day after 3 years of heavy operation. Modern dehumidifiers are not known for longevity, in fact, they seem to be among the absolute worst of the appliances made today. They consistently fail prematurely and they're very regularly recalled for safety concerns.
    I'm not sure who the actual OEM of the unit is, but this one does appear to be one of the better units out there. At least it utilizes a reputable compressor from a known brand, Rechi, however I'm not sure how significant this is as the compressors are not usually the point of failure in these, it's typically the coils.
    It shall be interesting to see how long this lasts while being properly maintained. I've always kept the unit clean. Most of these units are never cleaned. I doubt it will make much difference, but time will tell.
    I don't really have a use case for this anymore. I was using it by default as I needed dehumidification and didn't have a suitable vintage unit available at the time. Now I have multiple vintage units that would work in this use case which I'd much rather use due to the safety concerns of these newer units.

    If you are afraid of modern appliances burning down a house, you can plug it into an arc fault protected outlet and it will save your house from fires.

    Ooh, R-410A. Not a bad refrigerant. Surprised your unit has lasted this long. The OEM of GE appliances is usually Haier. They bought out GE's appliance section of products a while back, and now they manufacture appliances for GE.

    Galvanic corrosion on the evaporator is the number one killer of these. If I bought one I’d put primer on the coil ends. Not to mention that buzzy compressor sounds horrible. They’re cooled by refrigerant not air so I suppose it’s alright for it to be in a separate compartment but yet they run so hot.

    Are there service valves on these to evacuate and add new refrigerant? If not how would you service a unit that leaked out?

    I'm interested in these condenser cleaning videos, you should make more of these condenser cleaning videos.

    Hey, I noticed the battery seemed low on your thermometer, and I'm thinking that might impact the accuracy of the temperature readings. Sometimes, when the battery runs low, the displayed temperature might not be entirely accurate. This could explain why the thermometer showed 122 degrees while you felt it was hotter.
