      If the Wood-Mizer Dehumidifier's compressor isn't running, it could be due to a tripped High Pressure Switch. Try resetting the High Pressure Switch. Other potential issues could be related to the Low Pressure switch or a faulty Time delay relay, which may need to be replaced. Also, verify the compressor has power.
