  If your Kenmore Dehumidifier isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the power cord is fully plugged into the outlet. Check your house's fuse or circuit breaker box, replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker if necessary. Also, make sure the water bucket isn't full, and that it's correctly installed. If the room's humidity is lower than your selected humidity setting, adjust the humidity control button to lower the setting. Finally, note that the unit has a 3-minute delay upon restarting.

Why is my Kenmore Dehumidifier not drying the air properly?

  If your Kenmore Dehumidifier isn't effectively drying the air, several factors could be responsible. To begin with, it can take 3 to 4 days to achieve the desired dryness when you first install the unit. Check for obstructions like curtains or furniture blocking airflow to the front or back of the dehumidifier. Ensure the humidity control is set low enough. Verify that all doors and windows are tightly closed. If a clothes dryer is blowing moisture into the room, relocate the dehumidifier or vent the dryer outside. Finally, confirm the room temperature is at least 42°F (6°C).

Why does my Kenmore 25850 Dehumidifier seem to run too much?
- S
  Sheryl DaySep 3, 2025
  Your Kenmore Dehumidifier might be running too much because the area you're trying to dehumidify is too large. Also, check that all doors and windows to the outside are closed, as open doors and windows can cause the dehumidifier to work harder and run longer.
