If your Amana Dehumidifier runs excessively, consider these potential causes: * The area you're trying to dehumidify might be too large. The dehumidifier's capacity may not be sufficient for the room size. * Doors and windows might be open. Ensure all doors and windows to the outside are closed.
Why does frost appear on the coils of my Amana AMAD481BW Dehumidifier?

What to do if controls cannot be set on my Amana AMAD481BW?
This is normal operation for the Amana Dehumidifier. The compressor turns off, but the fan continues to run for about 3 minutes at a fixed setting. Wait approximately 3 minutes, then set the fan speed to your desired level. Also this is normal if air is moving through the unit.

If your Amana Dehumidifier isn't drying the air as effectively as it should, consider these factors: * Airflow could be restricted. Ensure no curtains, blinds, or furniture are blocking the front of the unit. * The temperature control might not be set correctly. Try lowering the set thermostat temperature. * The humidity control may be set too high. For drier air, lower the desired humidity percentage using the down arrow button, or set the dehumidifier to CO for maximum dehumidification. * The room might be too cool. Moisture removal is most effective at higher room temperatures. Lower temperatures reduce moisture removal. This dehumidifier is designed to operate above 41°F (5°C). * Doors and windows might not be closed tightly. Ensure all doors, windows, and other openings are...
Why won't my Amana AMAD481BW Dehumidifier start?
If your Amana Dehumidifier won't start, there could be several reasons: * It might be unplugged. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. * A fuse might be blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check your house's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. * There may have been a power failure. The unit will automatically restart when power is restored, but there's a protective 3-minute delay to prevent compressor overload. It might take 3 minutes after power is restored for normal cooling to resume. * The dehumidifier might have reached the set humidity level or the bucket is full. The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either of these conditions occurs. Try setting a lower humidity level or emptying the water bucket a...
