Can Frigidaire FAD704TDP run in basements at 60 -65 degrees My basement stays between 60 - 65 degrees in the spring-summer. Does anyone have this unit running at these temperatures?

Yes.At those temperatures, the %RH cannot be very high. If it is, you would be enjoying an "indoor fog." Don't allow it to run constantly. Try setting the unit to 45 or 50% RH at normal speed. Don't be surprised if the unit seldom runs until you reach an ambient 65 - 70 degrees.

It will run, but the compressor will constantly freeze up, shut off, and re-start once defrosted - All the dehumidifiers will do this at lower temperatures. At 63 to 65 degrees, it took over 2 days to fill the bucket in my basement. Now that the temperture is between 68 -70, the machine runs well. I ran my furnace fan to raise the basement temperature, but it also raised the humidity. j.

Hello, Our basement does not get quite that cold so I am unsure. I would call the company and ask. If it would not freeze up, it works amazing. It is a great item.

No. My basement is about 50 degrees and it keeps on running. If used in a basement I don't understand the ice up question. Its a dehumidifier, not an air conditioner.

I bought two to heat a barely insulated garage in the PNW where temperatures are generally mild. If the temperature is between 40 and 50 then only one unit can keep the garage at about 60 or which is a comfortable temperature for shop work. If the temp is between 30 and 40 then I'll run both of them and will get the same 60 degrees. It never really gets below 30 here so I can't answer that.

During the winter my basement's temperature gets into the 50s but, the humidity is so low that the unit hardly ever runs.I have one of the new electric heat pump water heaters and that doesn't produce any water either in the winter.

I have mine in the garage. The temperature dosn't get quite get that low, but I can't see why it would not run at that temp.You are still above freezing.Richard S.

I have model # FFRE1033Q1. The amp draw is 7.7 in cooling mode. EER rating is 11.3. You can go to the Frigidaire web site to get the complete specs. There are several 10000 btu models. The one you are looking for is the model number I indicated above. AC units are listed under Home Comfort. You can also down load the manual.

I live in West Texas and my house during the day is around 82. I've noticed the cooler will be around 54 when I come in from work. I've got it set for 48.

Sounds like you are continuing to DEHUMIDIFY with your Frigidaire unit. It is a fabulous machine, and does my entire 1,500 sq. ft. basement with no problems. Hopefully this will continue.

I wish I could help you. My Danby is in an office and keep milk very cold, but temps here don't get above 74. Before I bought my unit, I did see some other reviews where the owners kept the fridge in a garage or workshop and none complained about temp. But again, I wouldn't know from personal experience. Good luck!!

Usually, a dehumidifier will cease to operate efficiently once the temperature in the house/basement goes below 60 degrees. It operates most efficiently from 70 degrees on up. Does this answer your query?

My unit seems to run fine at colder temps It will shut off itself if it does not need to run.. But I don't run it when it gets below 50 degrees outside ,because I have no need to run it then.

Are you asking what the temps were indoors and outdoors when I had it running? If so, this summer our indoor temp ran roughly around 80 upstairs, and in the basement it was always at least 10 degrees lower.

My shop is in my unseated garage. It doesn't get below 40* The humidity is lower when it's cold so the unit runs a lot less than in the spring and summer, but it functions fine. Of course, if you mean below freezing when you say low temperatures, it wouldn't work, it would ice up.

We're operating the dehumidifier in our basement which is about 50 to 60 degrees. At times during the very hot days, it may get up to 80. It has proved to do an outstanding job. We dump the container at least twice a day. We are very pleased with its performance.

It will run it but who knows for how long. To give you a better way of how to estimate it... My D34/78 optima yellow top had the fridge running (fully stocked) for 32ish hours before the low voltage light started blinking on the fridge. That run time was in the middle of August with a 65 degree (F) temperature differential with direct sun exposure while it was sitting in the back of my truck. The fridge was set at 32F and it was just under 100F with 100% humidity outside in NYC.
