Whirlpool AD0402XM0 manual Dehumidifier DE-ICERcontrol, Before calling for assistance

Dehumidifier DE-ICER control

The 48 Pint Model dehumidifier has a DE-ICERcontrol built into it. This feature allows you to operate the unit in room temperatures below 65°F(18.3”C). Without this de-icer control, the units evaporator coil would form frost that could prevent proper operation.

The DE-ICERcontrol senses frost build-up on the evaporator coils. When frost build-up is sensed it automatically shuts off the compressor, but allows the fan to continue running. The fan draws air across the coil which melts the frost. When the coil is defrosted, the DE-ICERcontrol automatically restarts the compressor and resumes dehumidifying.

This unit will not operate properly in room temperatures below 50°F (IOC).
