Title: Anybody have a spare dehumidifier or air conditioner we can borrow?
Post by: Jason on June 17, 2017, 07:12:02 PM
Our dehumidifier died sometime over the last year. I never thought it worked very well but omg, with the humidity right now, I can see that it did. Unfortunately, we can't get a replacement (or an air conditioner) until July. Does anybody have a spare one they could lend for three weeks? Or an air conditioner?

Jason, do you know what has failed on your de-humidifier?  Maybe we could repair whatever component has broken?

I haven't the slightest, Bill. When I turn the dial, I hear the click sound it usually makes before it turns on but it doesn't. Or at least the motor for the fan doesn't (it doesn't make any noise). I never checked to see if the (condenser?), the coils on the back got cold or not. If you want to take it and take a look at it, you're welcome to. As soon as I have some money, I'll give you something for checking it out. However, it's probably 20 years old now so I think it just got its number called.

OK, maybe I can drop by Tuesday, if you are not tied up with something else, and I can just take it outside, to have a look at it and maybe crack it open, to check it out.

Yeah, I don't have anything then, I don't think. I'd appreciate that. Thanks!

Another friend is giving us a spare dehumidifier and coming by tomorrow night or Wednesday. So we won't have to fix this one after all. But thanks so much for the offer, Bill!

OK, Jason. Glad to hear you got another de-humidifier.
