hello.

have a 2 year old Sears Kenmore  Dehumidifier 580.54701400 70 pint Low temp

00000119567-Kenmore70PintDehumidifier54701-small.jpeg

when I turn it on the compressor starts, but the fan does not spin and will shut off on its own after a couple minutes

I plan on replacing

fan motor

CAPACITOR            0CZZA20005J

FAN MOTOR ASY    4681A20040K

is this a good place to start?

should i just get a few other parts just in case

I don't have a problem spending a little on this as its 250.00 new

 

also I read the capacitor hold a charge... it that correct?:shock:

if so how do i discharge it or how do i not get bitten?:yikes:

does a new one have a charge in it?

thanks, Ralphw

Sounds like a good place to start if you have verified that there is voltage to the motor.

As for the capacitor it typically will not have a "charge" but to be certain you can short the two terminals with a screwdriver if need be. Of course with the unit unplugged. Capacitors do not come "charged" based on the nature of the device. Simply connect the wires and it will do it's job.
