Hello All!
So... I bought 2 identical dehumidifiers 05/16/2006.
Sears Model No. 580.54501500, 50 pint capacity. About a month ago, I noticed that suddenly one bucket was filling MUCH FASTER than the other. For example one bucket would fill nearly daily and the other one, about 40 feet away, would take 7 to 10 days to fill. Even though it has been relatively dry, the one filling rapidly continues to do so even after installation of new humidity sensor (P/N 042.580.6877A30013L). So... which one is defective and how can I check without spending more than they are worth? (Paid $179.99 each.)
Thanks!
PB

Hello, Give more details to where the humidifiers are located. 40 ft is quiet a distance away. would make me think maybe in other room. what is in each room? anything that might cause this to happen, like a fish aquarium or maybe lots of plants in one room but not the other. Just fishing for answers.
