I don't normally post stuff on multiple forums but I posted this on Rennlist last week and it helped one person already.

If you have a dehumidifier in your home check if it's one of these recalled units.

I noticed my dehumidifier stopped working in the garage recently and it would just run and run w/o collecting any water. I decided to look up the make and model online just to see what the warranty period is and found that my make and model was recalled do to fire risk along with a dozen other models.

If you have a dehumidifier in your home take a look a the link and see if your unit was also recalled.

I bought mine a few years ago from Lowes.
