Your Amana Dehumidifier might run excessively if: - The area you're trying to dehumidify is too large for the unit's capacity. - Doors and windows are open, so close them to prevent outside air from entering.
Why won't my Amana R-AMAD501AW Dehumidifier start?
Your Amana Dehumidifier might not start for several reasons: - It may be unplugged; ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. - A fuse may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped; check and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. - There might have been a power failure; the unit will restart automatically after power is restored, but there's a 3-minute delay to protect the compressor. - The set humidity level may have been reached, or the bucket is full; adjust to a lower humidity level or empty the bucket. - The bucket may not be correctly positioned; make sure it is securely seated.
