My dehumidifier is running all the time - I can hear the compressor kick in now and again but the fan is going almost constantly. It doesnt collect much water - even on very humid days. Seems to me its just sucking electricity - ideas? Thanks.

Remove the cover and check the evaporator frost with the dehu running. Should see a light sheen of frost. If not, then you've had a sealed system leak.

correct

acording to this Whirlpool AD40G1 Wiring Diagram (the BEST COPY AVAILABLE)

Normaly. the Fan should run only while the Compressor is running.
