Haier Dehumidifier

I purchased this dehumidifier because we are renting a ground floor apartment and it smells like a musty old basement. My friends suggested I try a dehumidifier and it was amazing for about 6 months. The smell went away and it was so quiet you wouldn't even know it was in the room. One day about 6 months because I purchased in June and it was the day after Christmas I went to empty the bucket and replaced it in the dehumidifier. Normally it will just turn back on no problem. This was like a bomb was going to explode in our house. My dogs were barking and my 9yr daughter went running out of the room. Immediately I unplugged it but didn't see any issues. It had never been moved. The bucket was sitting correctly so I thought I'd try again. Then my son noticed that the noise was coming from the fan. We once again unplugged the machine and the fan is broken.

STOPS SUCKING WATER AFTER 18 MONTHS. Bought it Feb 2017 cause it was $100 off at Best Buy. Still paid $350 after taxes. Worked great in winter of 2017 and 2018. Kept my walls and windows dry. But now this year, it's deal. The motor runs, the lights turn on and I can hear water dripping but nothing in the bucket. I also bought a smaller version for my parents Oct 2017 cause this big one was so great the first year. This second one broke down even sooner. Needless to say, will not be buying another Haier model.

Dehumidifier stopped working. I took panel off to see if I could see anything obvious. The radiator had totally rusted-out and lost the Freon. Bad design, bad material.

I purchased a Haier DE65EM dehumidifier in July 2015 for my basement because my previous dehumidifier died. This unit was rather noisy due to vibration but it did function to remove water from the air. I attached a hose to it which ran into a sump so I did not have to empty the bucket. It only runs in the summer because that is when the basement is damp. In fact, I need to run a humidifier on the furnace in the winter because the air in the house is so dry. The dehumidifier worked the rest of the first season and probably the second, but in the spring of 2017 the air seemed rather damp in the basement in spite of the fact that it seemed to be running frequently.

Haier DE45EM-L - Would not recommend purchasing a Haier dehumidifier. Purchased from Home Depot and it lasted 2 years then quit drawing water - only the fan ran. Haier says it has one year warranty. Repair place is too expensive - they recommended purchasing a new one. Compressor failing. If I have to purchase a new Haier every two years, then it is clearly not worth it.

I purchased a Haier dehumidifier. It ran fine for the first couple of months, and then started to automatically shut itself off. I tried all the manual fixes without success as it appears to be an electrical issue. I called Haier and was basically told to shut it off and start it up again, fiddle with the settings, unplug it, make sure it is turned on, and other sorts of similar advice. Of course, these things did not help and by the time I got back to them, the warranty had expired. Seems that they did not want to get involved. I would not buy a Haier product again.

The Haier Dehumidifier Model HDN305 that I purchased May 21, 2006, from my local Target store failed while barely into it's third summer season (only got about 7 months total use out of it). The odd size 12A Fuse (clipped into a fuse holder on the Printed Circuit Board located inside the unit's casing) blew. I stated odd size 12A because 10A and 15A are the closest common sizes I could find locally, and Haier parts, nor the National Appliance Distributors parts warehouses I found online have the replacement 12A fuse available in stock. I tried the 10A, but those blew immediately upon running the unit.

Ive been calling them everyday and every time they told me that somebody will call me back before 5pm but nothing has happened.
