Dehumidifier Recall, they can catch on fire

[Inspector507]

Called this morning and my Frigidaire 70 pint is on the list as well. Got the same instructions that jwstewar did. So they're sending the recall package out.

Currently waiting for a couple of checks for a 50 & a 70 pint Soleus Air we had bought at Lowes. Scary part is one was in the basement & one in the crawl space mechanical area and we had been getting a "hot plastic" smell ocasionally in the basement we couldn't track down...

i got my check, it was a kenmore model that gree built. cut off the cord
and sent the plug in with the required docs etc. my question is what do
I do with the unit now that it's scrap? my landfill charges to dump them!

I'll set mine out with the trash. Someone will take it before the sun rises. They'll recycle parts of it.

just checked, my kenmore 70 pt isn't on the list. I was actually hoping it was as it's been making funny noises lately and I think it's about to go out.

Same here ..My 03/13 manufactured SoleusAir just quit...Was hoping it was on the recall list. Sadly it wasn't. I'll never buy anything from the primary manufacturer again.

It's not under warranty?

Many thanks for the original post. I have three 70 pint units that I use in a couple a garages that house my tractors .. oh, and cars. All three were on the list. Not sure why we didn't register them after the purchase but this is a reminder of why it is good to do so.

Think I paid about $220-230 each from Menards. If I get back enough to buy new comparable models and cover the cost of disposal I'll be satisfied.

No problem. I took this as a wake up call and I am going to register everything now.

I had a 70 pt. Kenmore, and after I plugged it in last week the plug popped and sparked and the unit would not turn on. I checked and it was NOT on the list and of course it was out of warranty.
