At what room temperature will the coils begin to ice up?
1352430
I don't know!! Mine haven't iced up. I keep my house between 68-72 F. On the Frigidaire, I keep the humidity at 75 and the fan on low. So far it has worked like a champ!

The coils have not iced up but I have only had the unit a few weeks and it is in lower room of a tri level home. So far the coils have not iced up as I said. The unit definitely is taking harmful moisture from the room. I set the level at 40% and it ran continuously and I was dumping the bucket twice every 24 hours. I set in to 60%, and the room feels the same and the unit shuts off some.As with many dehumidifiers, longevity will tell the story of how well this unit is bilt

This is straight from the Frigidaire user's manual (available at the Frigidaire website): "The unit is designed to operate between 41 F (5 C), and 96 F (35 C). The unit will not work properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will fall greatly." That said, my experience is that the unit WILL form frost/ice on the coils - you can't change the physics of how it works. But it has a sensor built in so that it simply will stop the compressor for 3 min, leave the fan running, and de-ice itself before resuming operation (all without harm to the dehumidifier). The unit is shipped with the humidistat set to "Continuous." Frigidaire recommends running the unit in continuous mode for the first 2-3 days to remove most of the moisture from the air, then dial down to an actual value appropriate for the area. (I use 45%.) Consistent with Frigidaire's instructions, once the unit starts removing water from the air, the moisture available to cause frost/ice on the coils will diminish, and, if you have an icing problem, it will lessen. In my experience, these units are good for about 500-600 sq ft. If you have a larger area that especially is damp, you may need more than one dehumidifier. That's my situation and my solution. I also keep my shop heated, and that helps reduce the relative humidity. Hope this helps! Added 8 Jun 13: Pam's question about coil icing and ambient temperature prompted me to explore the Frigidaire website as well as the owner's manual and my own experience. I discovered Frigidaire publishes the wiring diagram for the unit, and it's available for download. It's a block diagram, not detailed or with part numbers, but it's enough to troubleshoot the unit. In stark contrast, the most logical competing unit, Sunpentown, puts the wiring diagram on a decal behind the condensate water bucket, but they publish nothing. Finally, I don't know what happened to the price, but on 23 May 13, I paid $218.98 for the Frigidaire unit. Now it's over $250.

I believe that a normal room temp 70-75 or so they would not melt or in the refrigerator...Will keep several months.

according to the manual (which can be found here http://manuals.frigidaire.com/prodinfo_pdf/Edison/2020266a0220en.pdf), it does poorly in temperatures below 41 degrees farenheit

It goes from room temp (about 25C) to 66C to melt all the wax. Then you need to reset it for a comfortable temperature (51-54C). It does go up in increments of 1C, but you can only set the end point temperatures.

Less than o.5 degrees You can rezero, but you will need access to a lab with a zero degree table, so leave the factory settings. If you rezero at home, best you can hope for is + - 2 degrees accuracy. These things are worth their weight in gold

Hi, Well I'm not sure, But I would say 60 degrees. You have to buy them. They work great. You will never buy a better brand.

I've been keeping it at room temp. But I'm not an expert. I hope the supplier answers.

Well James, since I got my heater it has not been cold enough for me to run for long periods of time. I have used it the most this month, I'm curious to see what my light bill will show. So far I like it, I have had an EdenPure heater prior to this one and the cord didn't heat up I used it for six years.

Yes. Definitely. And if you're talking about brewing. You're going to be starting around 140-160F from your sparge. It should take about 30 mins to get up to 212F. This is as long as you have 220-240V/30amp power supply.

I'm not sure about a temp "range", however, I have the knob in the middle of the temp selector and it's really cold.

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

When it freezes below about 20 you have to drain it to protect the coils. That said, you may start the water and fire it up when it is below freezing, just remember to drain it once it cools off.... Our unit works on a single handle application, it just has to be set at a lower temp.

They are just fine at room temperature. I would only use a heater if the temperature dropped below 68.

From the research I did, it will freeze around 22 Fahrenheit. I don't know what liquid is inside.

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.

I have mine set on 460 degrees. I have found that heating up (tempering) the lead came first, before using the solder works best. Just don't touch the came it becomes VERY HOT. Hopes this helps.

the results i have had is the compresor will run untill the unit reaches the set temp. I have the fan for the coils running all the time . set at 38 deg the comp runs about three min. 8 times in a hour. all depending on how many times you open the door to the unit ,or if you are putting new items in the refeg.
