theres literally a circuitboard right where the buttons are in that unit.. Guarantee your getting that board wet by doing this. Its only a matter of time before you ruin it by either getting the board too wet or it corroding after time.
I tried it and it worked fine - I made sure all the water drained out and let it dry outside for a couple of days. I also put some we40 on the wheel joint.
I have the same model. I strongly recommend removing the back panel if you do this. There are a lot of electrical connections in there, and you really want to dry them out completely. It’s only about 6 screws and then the panel pulls off. Without doing that, the water will stay in that compartment for a long time and cause lord knows what problems.
I would heat dry that, wait 24 hours, and then plug it into a GFCI outlet before turning it back on. One commenter mentioned that spraying it could corrode the circuit board. Perhaps using compressed air while wearing a dust mask is a better idea. Or vacuum out the dust (don't forget the mask).
I used spray bottles and dragged the filter and catch basin upstairs and cleaned it. There is a little pipe where the water collects and drops and I reached in and wiped out the buildup. Just spraying through the front with water and enzyme cleaner and using a fan to dry it greatly increased the flow. Thank you for the video.
I have the exact same model. I was hesitant to try this method although I do want to now. Vinegar is apparently the best thing to use on the tank. I litterally just filled mine with Mr clean. It's icing up. First time since 2013
Hosing the unit down like that can decimate the electrical components… it also doesn’t adequately clean it. This is how to do it: czcams.com/video/YntsdKFu2lA/video.html
You're welcome, Katie. Yes, they are very easy to clean. I have two of them that are still running strong. I appreciate you checking out my review today.
Man I just happened upon this content. Please if you own this dehumidifier and are watching this, DO NOT DO THIS. Yes for the short term it will do a 50% coil clean. Long term this method will absolutely degrade the electrical controls. Do this instead: Wear a dust mask. Take the panels off, locate the coil. Start with a soft bristle brush. Then, use a compressor with an air nozzle on the coils. Clean the filter with dawn soap and water and let dry. Reassemble. I don’t doubt the OP’s intentions but take it from an hvac certified tech. Cheers.
this is definitely how you should NOT clean your dehumidifier. Wow. Clowns on YT. Use your screw gun and remove the panels and clean it correctly. It only takes a few minutes and you don't destroy your electronics.
Well man I'm amazed your machine still works after that all that. Mine's specifically says not to use it in a wet environment so I'm not comfortable taking a hose to the machine. Also generally speaking LCD screens and water don't mix. Sure taking a hose to the bucket part is fine. I'm having a weird situation with mine. It seems to be dripping blackish water out of it. I don't know if it's mold or not but it's not just coming from the collection tray. Because the tray has a sort of lid and where the drop water drops through the lid I can see some of this residue. It wipes off rather easily it almost looks like a sort of graphite. I bought another dehumidifier last week and I just changed the tank for the first time and that one doesn't seem to have any of this black stuff in it so far. I clean the filter regularly on the first one and it does seem to pick up quite a bit of sort of fabricy dust particles. I had it for a while in a bathroom that had some black mold on the wall so I'm thinking maybe some of the mold got inside of the machine. unfortunately I don't know how else to clean it because taking the screen out is one thing but actually opening up the machine is a whole another story. I'm not really mechanically in client but I may try to take it apart I'm just a little hesitant to do so because it's a brand new machine only a few months old and I don't really want to break anything. But I had another dehumidifier at another house in previous years and I don't remember that one dripping any of this blackish water either. The water from the previous machine looked relatively clean for the most part. I mean it certainly didn't look like it had some sort of graphite in it. When I empty the tank and this one I can still see this sort of grayish blackish residue on the sides and at the bottom. Hey wipes out relatively easy with a paper towel. I tried pouring some straight vinegar into the bucket when I after I changed it. That seemed to help clean the bucket somewhat but like I said it seems to be dripping from inside of the machine so I don't think just cleaning the bucket even with bleach is going to solve my problem. Appreciate anybody's feedback if they've experienced something similar with their machines. and good luck with your hose and down project mine doesn't seem to be making noises or anything weird like that is just this dripping sort of weirdness
I have this machine and have the same problem! I use it in my finish basement to keep the humidity level in check and I could smell something icky when I turn it on. It works great and my tank does get gross so I take it apart to get a good clean but I noticed I have black clumps like this video coming out of the water hole into the tank. My filter is almost totally clean each time I clean it besides some fibers, nothing like this guy's filter. I don't know if I trust rinsing it out w a hose, but I also am not sure how to deep clean it! So, I'm with you!
@@mngrrl well to be honest I have actually two machines and I've noticed something about them. One of the machines has a bucket that comes out of the bottom front the second machine has a bucket that comes out of the back bottom. The one where it comes out of the back seems to get significantly dirtier quicker. I've done the same thing I've cleaned the filter but still it tends to get this sort of black fiber gunk build up. The one with the front bucket doesn't really seem to get that. I really think it's some sort of design flaw with these machines. I was able to give the back bucket one a deep clean but I had to literally take the machine apart and it took a long time and in my opinion it's way too difficult we shouldn't have to do this to keep it clean. The machine with the front bucket I never had to take apart once. Anybody who's looking to buy one of these machines I'd recommend one where the bucket comes out from the front. Does black clumps if you take your machine apart with a screwdriver you'll be able to find places where they build up but be prepared to spend a few hours doing it. As far as the tank part itself I find that pouring a little white vinegar into the empty bucket helps to keep it clean. You definitely need to clean it out by hand occasionally though the bucket part that is.
That very same model in your video was one of the affected models back in 2013/2014 by the mass Gree dehumidifier recall. Don't use it. It can overheat and cause fire. Check the overheating evidence by checking the fan cylinder for deformation.
Thank you! This is amazing! I couldn't understand why my dehumidifier was making so much noise. It was 95% blocked. It's back to being "almost silent" now!
You're welcome. Yeah, I was surprised how quiet my dehumidifier became afterwards also. I generally like to clean mine out about once per year, but it will vary depending on how dusty your room is where it runs. Thanks for watching!
when I read the manual, it says do not spray with water. One question: how long have you been doing this procedure for? Couple of years? and your dehumidifier still works OK? not rusty parts and all? thank you for your time.
Great question. I've been using this procedure for about 3-4 years on my dehumidifier and I haven't had any issues with it. It's the best way I know of to get all of the dust/dirt out of the system. I make sure the unit is dried out before I plug it in and turn it on again. Thanks for watching my tutorial.
Hi there, I know I said one question and keep asking:) If it's fine with you, I have one more: does this process also help with the bad smell/odor? I think it's the smell of mold or bacteria. I didn't know when I first bought the machine that it needed that attention so I've just cleaned the filter whenever the machine warned me about it. I bought the machine last winter and have never cleaned it other than the filter. And now, I have this bad smell as a result. So first I cleaned the bucket and now it doesn't smell anymore but still there is smell in the machine coming from inside. So I cannot use it. Is it too late for me now? or can your method also save me from this situation? thanks again:)
Mine is getting iced up and another video says it's caused by being dirty. The filter and bypass hose has a lot of black buildup. I never would have imagined you can use a hose on the fan. So everything's waterproof?! This is cool, thanks
I have that same dehumidifier. Been running it since December of 2015 and it’s still going strong. I think I’ll give this a try; but wondering if there will be any issues since most of the buildup is likely cat litter dust...
Great question, jojobean. Before using water, you could try blowing it out with an air hose. The cat hair may come out fairly easy that way. Thanks for watching my tutorial.
for the filter I'd suggest only paper towel, the water corrupts the rough filter, and went a critical mass builds up it starts collecting (act as a fine filter) dust very fast, so there\s no need for water spraying for me... I'm thinking of adding an extra filter at the exhaust!.
Usually the issue with water is short circuiting, so if the device doesn't have capacitors that are short circuited by the water, and you follow the poster's advice to be sure that it's completely dry, it makes sense.
I have a slightly different model, same brand though, and with mine the handle has to be at a certain angle to pop that out. Once the handl is off the rest pulled right out. Be cautious if u pull out the pivoti float as it requires bending some semi thin plastic to remove/reinstall it. Kind of a silly design for that part. The top assembly of the tray looks identical to mine so hopefully this helps...👍
Have you had any trouble since cleaning them this way...mine is leaking...I have a newer one and it doesn't seem to be collecting water...what can I use to clean drain lines...ty
Unfortunately this doesn’t apply for a Keystone dehum which has no open vents on top of unit. Additionally, you didn’t really cover how to get out the mold or mildew (the dark smelly stained area of the bottom of the dehumidifier tank) which is the current condition of my tank. The unit is only a few years old (installed 2018). Do you have any suggestions for that?
Thanks for your question, Jeffrey. Regarding the mildew, you can try cleaning it out by adding a small amount of bleach to water and letting that soak for a few minutes, then scrub it out with a soft-bristle brush.
Good question. I would give it at least 24 hours to dry out to be safe. You'll know because the unit won't be making any "sloshing" sounds which would indicate the fan is coming into contact with water. The environment you're in will have an impact. If you live in a hot, dry climate it won't take nearly as long to dry out.
I’m surprised you don’t cover up the electrical panel on top to minimize water getting in there. After doing that I would heat air dry it at 3 feet away from a space heater, then plug it into a GFCI outlet at least 24 hours later.
Wow, very impressed that you are using a water hose. Do you think this can be done with other large dehumidifiers? I have Frigidaire and delonghi brands. Thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you for the question. That's a good one. I've never tried this on other brands of dehumidifiers. I would think as long as the electronics are not directly exposed to the water it should be alright, but you may want to research that more. This technique has worked really well for both of my units. I appreciate you checking out this tutorial.
You can see the way I did it in the video. I just sprayed through the outside of the unit and also cleaned out the filter. You’ll see dust and dirt debris come out for a bit until it gets cleaned out. You should have it dry, ideally, for a few hours before running it again.
I have a Haier dehumidifier with the electronic touch buttons on top, the coils and filter I clean often. The inside fan seems to be the cause of this musty smell, however there is not a way to take it apart to get to that blower fan. Is it okay to hose it down through the top without ruining the electric components?
If I understand you correctly, you don't have a reset filter light then either? If not, you have nothing to reset. You just clean it and put it back in on a regular basis(whatever that is needed for your use and environment). Models like the one shown have a timer to help you remember to clean it and the filter light will come on after some amount of run-time. Resetting it only resets the timer, nothing more.
I think your model may have been part of a recall from the company. We used to have a model that looked just like that one and the company sent us a recall notice. Anyway, just something to look into.
It really depends on the environment you're using the Dehumidifier in. A more dusty environment will require you to clean it more often. I try and clean the filter at least once per month, every two weeks if possible. I then do the full cleaning (like here in the video) about once per year. This will help extend the life of your unit and keep it running well.
@@HandyHudsonite I have a bathroom with no exhaust fan in it. I live where there's semi-high humidity. I threw out my last dehumidifier, because it started to smell like mildew. Thanks for answering.

Water and electronic.......don't go together! Take it apart and do it right!
how often do you clean?
It really depends on the environment you're using the Dehumidifier in. A more dusty environment will require you to clean it more often. I try and clean the filter at least once per month, every two weeks if possible. I then do the full cleaning (like here in the video) about once per year.
