Throw them in the trash. They are garbage. There have been tons of posts
about the trash dehumidifiers Sears has been putting out for the last couple
of years. I had mine replace 3 times under the 5 year refrigeration system
warranty. Later units are only guaranteed 1 year. Wonder why??? I could
have brought mine in again but I decided enuf was enuf and bought a
Whrilpool which still was made in the US and is guaranteed 5 years.
Unfortunately that one may also be made in China now. You might check
consumer reports. My previous Sears dehumdifier lasted 15 years, by the
way.
