Dehumidifier shaking and making loud banging noise

cutestkids

Hi

I have an ebac Amazon dehumidifier, over the last few weeks it has started to make a loud banging noise and sake when it starts to dehumidify, it is still collecting water and apart from the loud noise is working OK any ideas what could be wrong.

Your real question is why am I having to use a dehumidifier in my modern well insulated home?

In answer to your previous issue, if there is any warranty left, then take it back, but, to be honest they are pretty much un-serviceable, certainly until you get into the industrially rated stuff.

Check first when you first purchased this dehumidifier that should lead you to the answer.

I have on most occasions found the easiest and most economic way to fix problems that occur was to repair by replacement.

Hi

Thanks for the answers, it is only about 15 months old so out of warranty but hoped not to be replacing quite so soon.

with regards to a modern well insulated home I can only wish.

Maybe send an email to the technical department of the manufacturer, explaining what you are experiencing and they may give you advice other than 'replace'

With the water container and electric plug removed lift the unit and give it a shake and listen to hear if there are anything loose within the unit, it maybe that a component part has become loose seeing that the unit still manages to do its job, give that a try.
