  If your Kenmore Dehumidifier isn't operating, first, ensure it's properly plugged into the wall outlet. Check for a blown house fuse or a tripped circuit breaker and replace or reset it. If the dryness level you selected has been reached, the dehumidifier automatically shuts off; select 'CONTINUOUS' if you want to remove more moisture. Make sure the bucket is correctly installed and not full. Also, ensure the dehumidifier is turned on and that the 'BUCKET FULL' light is not illuminated; if it is, empty and reinstall the bucket.

Why does frost appear on the coils of my Kenmore 253.25033 Dehumidifier?
- K
  Kimberly RiversAug 13, 2025
  Frost may appear on the coils above the bucket or drip tray of your Kenmore Dehumidifier if the unit has been turned on recently. This is normal due to refrigerant rushing through the coil and should disappear within 60 minutes. If the room temperature is too low, ensure it is higher than 5 °C (41 °F) for satisfactory operation.

Why does my Kenmore Dehumidifier run too much?
- J
  Joshua JohnstonAug 20, 2025
  Your Kenmore Dehumidifier might be running too much because windows or doors near the unit are open to the outdoors—try closing them. The area you're trying to dehumidify could be too large, so consult your dealer to check if the unit's capacity is adequate. Also, ensure that air movement through the dehumidifier isn't blocked, and clean the grill with a vacuum cleaner brush attachment. Finally, if the dehumidifier is in CONT mode, use the humidity button or knob to set a higher relative humidity level.

What to do if my Kenmore 253.25033 is operating but the room is not dry enough?

  Timothy RussellAug 26, 2025
  If your Kenmore Dehumidifier is running but the room isn't dry enough, the humidity setting might be too high. Press the HUMIDITY button or rotate the knob to a lower setting, or choose CONTINUOUS for maximum dryness. If the dehumidifier was recently installed or restarted, it will take longer to dry the room air, especially if the moisture level is high. Ensure the dehumidifier has sufficient clearance and that airflow to the front grill isn't blocked. The unit won't work well if the room temperature is below 5 °C (41 °F). It may also be running too much, so refer to the solutions for that problem.
