NOISY Whirlpool Dehumidifier
in [Repair]

From: jaugustine on 7 May 2010 09:19 Hi, I bought a Whirlpool model AD50DSS2 dehumidifier. It is a very NOISY (vibration noise) dehumidifier! A service man came. He thought he fixed it, but later the NOISE was back. The dehumidifier's cabinet "amplifies" the compressor's vibration. A call to Whirlpool was no help at all. I am a ham radio operator and found out from other hams that I am not the only one that has a NOISY Whirlpool dehumidifier. I would like to hear from others with the same problem. Thank You in Advance, John N3AOF PS, Remove "ine" from my email address
From: William Sommerwerck on 7 May 2010 09:48 What about putting something heavy on the dehumidifier to dampen the sound? About a year ago I considered buying a dehumidifier for my garage. After searching the Web for reviews, I discovered that all dehumidifiers, from any manufacturer, are pretty much junk. (Ditto for toaster-ovens, but that's another matter.)

There is no way to stop it doing that except pull the plug. Thats what I did when i got air conditioning. greg

This hack works on machinery with vibrating panels or other parts that make noise even louder.
