I purchased a 2nd hand Rubydry DH600 dehumidifier which ran fine for the first two weeks, collecting about 4-5 ltrs/day. Then one morning I found it had stopped with the warning light on and the Mid light flashing. Since the on/off button was inoperative I pulled the mains plug. After re-inserting it I pressed the on/off button and it started running properly again, only to fail a couple of nights later with the same fault. I followed the same procedure and got it working again, but when it happened again the following day, the error was hard. This time I couldn't get it running so I called a company called Dry-it-Out who suggested checking for a blown fuse or that the drum was still rotating. Both were OK so I switched it off until I got some more information.
Several days later I demonstrated the error to a friend but, much to my surprise, it started running properly when I connected the mains lead. Its now been running properly for 48 hours, collecting about 4 ltrs/day on the Mid setting. Can anybody shed any light on this intermittent problem?
