I have this unit, and it appears to be full of water and leaking. I noticed the filter was filthy and clogged. I just ordered a new filter, but am afraid it may be a faulty dehumidifier.

What kind of mastic or glue is used behind the black screw in connector at the discharge hole?

great job, more people should take care of their crawl spaces. What headlamp do you use, I where one every day and would like to invest in a good rechargeable. Thanks, Rick from Illinois

Mine has bee running about 1 year and started leaking water, and nothing comes out the drain hose. I wish you had shown how you actually cleaned it out. I assume you took a cloth or something and stuck into the hole and hopefully that cleared the gunk out of it. I just changed the filters about 1 month ago and it was working fine at that time. In the past few weeks, I noticed water under my house and just discovered where it was coming from. I may report back if I manage to get it cleaned out. Not sure about that bleach stuff though. Maybe if you could video pouring or spraying bleach in there. I'm not sure exactly how to do that.

Okay - it was just like he said. It had that gunk in the line. I disconnected the hose and took an old sock with a screwdriver and raked out the gunk the best I could. I did not bleach though. I even cleaned some gunk out of the rubber hose, but it was mostly okay. Lots of water came out as soon as I cleaned the gunk out. It is now working like new (almost new). Thanks for this helpful video. I would never have guessed this to be the problem and was reesearching how to disassemble the thing to clear out any debris. Maybe I would have found the problem once I disconnected the hose as the gunk was stopping up the end of the pipe. Thanks again.

Hi, great video. I have this exact model, has been working great for a few years. However, I just recently noticed that our humidity level was going way up so I went down to take a look. I removed the pre filter and the actual filter was stuck to the dehumidifier and the top 1/3 was all ice. I cleaned it, hit it with an air canister, put a new hose, pre filter, and filter on it about 6 weeks ago and this is the first time its happened. Any idea as to what it is?

I'm sorry to hear that happened. We have actually been having the same issue with several of our Compact2's. We are not sure what causes it, but you may try contacting Santa Fe to see if they can help. We have switched to Aprilaire dehumidifiers and have not had any issues.

Crawl Space Ninja thanks for that info. Just for anyone else, I contacted Santa Fe and they were very helpful. Sending me a new one since I’m still under warranty. Fingers crossed for the next one.

This happens if you do what mr church says to set dehu at where he likes it. NEVER set this model beyond normal or you will eventually freeze the coils. Better yet never buy this brand and only use aprilair

I purchased the Aprilaire 1850 and have it set to 40% RH. At this setting is it possible for the unit to reach this level. My home is only 1100 Sq. Ft.

How do I clean the coil inside? I opened the unit (santa fe dual dry XT) and found corrugated plastic running through to the coils. It is layered with about an 1/8th of an inch in between each piece running to the coils (maybe to slow air flow?) I'm positive I need to clean the coil but have no idea how to get in to the coils without destroying the plastic parts. Thanks!

I would definitely use ONLY the Santa Fe, it is a simpler, more reliable unit with a longer warranty and it uses about 20% less energy. The company is also very easy to work with.
