hey guys thanks for tuning in in this
video I'm gonna be showing you why your
dehumidifier might be icing up the first
reason is that room temperature where
you have your dehumidifier for example
if you have it in a cold room in a
basement even 15 16 degrees the coils in
the back will ice up so these are the
coils and talking about here because
your ears flowing through this way
through the filter and over the over
these coils and sometimes these coils
use ice up so if your room is like below
16 even 17 degrees it might ice up that
could be one of the problems so another
one of the problems might be just dirt
inside your dehumidifier I've already
taken all the screws off of this one and
the knob here so I'm just going to take
this off we'll have a look inside and as
you can see there's a lot of dirt and
dust and debris and everything else in
there so you also want to take a look at
your goons so as you can see in here
there's a whole bunch of coils like on
your rad on your car and if those get
blocked up what will happen is is the
air won't be able to flow through so
it's a good idea to get that all cleaned
up in there this one isn't too bad but
there's still some dirt in there but
it's a good idea to get all those coils
and all this dirt off of everything
cleaned up alright so I got the frame or
the sides off of the dehumidifier here
and you can see all this dirt and crud
and everything built up that's really no
good
so you want to get this all cleaned up
you want this radiator type thing here
to be completely clean because your air
flows through here around these coils
den through here and these coils pick up
the water so we're gonna clean this up
nice and even though even though this is
a really old dehumidifier it'll work
much better after its cleaned up so you
can still see through the coils there
you can see through to the other side
but your users a lot of dirt in there so
we're gonna vacuum this up and clean it
up alright guys so I vacuumed out this
dehumidifier here and clean it up with a
wet rag you can see how much better how
much better it looks there's still some
dust and dirt even doing the coils there
but I can't get to that and everything
else looks a lot better if you can see
the you know the crap that came out
inside the dehumidifier and then past
the wet rag over just Whittle some
cleaning solution and that looks a lot
better you can see I've got most of the
dust off and dirt everywhere you can see
the water here is just black so like I
said if you're having a problem with
your dehumidifier not working properly
or if it's icing up take it apart like
this get all the dust and dirt and
everything out of it and you know it'll
work like a brand new dehumidifier
so here's the finished product that got
put back together got the bucket in here
and the filter the air filter and it's
all cleaned up ready to go let's turn it
on here sounds a lot better
yeah the airflow now is probably twice
as good as it was before which might
clean it up like that
