Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a dehumidifier, instead of using
a humidistat setting, allows you to set the time on and the time off?

Example: Set the dehumidifier to run for a half hour, then be off
for an hour. This cycle repeats over and over.

Almost all new dehumidifiers have electronic controls.

My mechanical control dehumidifier recently "died". I used an external
controller I made that employs a binary counter. The dehumidifier, which was
set to "Max", was plugged into this external device. When the power was off,
in effect it is the same as "unplugging" the dehumidifier. I used this
system for years and it worked GREAT. Note: I use a humidity gauge.

PROBLEM:

With electronic control dehumidifiers, "unplugging" (in effect) the
dehumidifier for a half hour or more, most likely will cause it to loose the
settings.
Thanks in advance, Brad

I've had a few LG digital dehumidifiers and their rebranded cousins
(Kenmore, for instance) lately which have this built in; typically 2
hrs on/off or 4 hrs on/off on the littler ones, 3 hrs and 6 hrs for
the bigger ones. The down side is the reason I've had a few is that
they die; mostly the fan motor, but I've got one that doesn't deice
properly at lower temps. But they do the timer thing. (As a result, I
discovered there's an LG repair place in new Jersey that sells them
"refurbished" for like $99). The fan motors cost about $30.
