Digital Dehumidifier Shuts Off After Power Outage and Stays Off!

Perhaps you could buy a UPS (uninterrupible power supply) that would keep the unit running for brief periods during a power glitch.

Google "uninterruptible power supplies"

here is a good "basic explanation" link:

Your challenge will be to try to estimate how long the power is off at a time.......... 5 seconds or 4 hours ?? and find a UPS with a high enough rating to power the dehumidifier long enough to prevent the digital control from resetting to zero (or off). A very small UPS designed for a computer might not do the job.

Hope this helps !!

Sears has a 35pt model that is analog but I believe their 70pt model will start back up after a power failure automatically just like most window air units. Tom

Thanks. I will look into the IPS, but it will have to be able to handle 8 amps! Probably cheaper to start all over (but with what.) Will have to look at the restart issue very carefully with the next unit.
