Dehumidifier

[PlumberInTheMaking]

Hi!

I recently bought a dehumidifier but woke up to see that it has stopped working. I looked at the AC adapter and it's OK.

Opened her up and the cuts out, assuming it's overheated and burnt out? So anyway, I unplugged the one circuit called 'Cool1' and sure enough, the fan span, and it all started up, plugged in 'cool1' and unplugged 'cool2' and it tripped. I am assuming the cool1 is just too boost up the fan to make it spin faster? And wouldn't cause problems to have the one circuit unplugged?

If you recently bought it why not take it back as faulty?

I bought it from Ebay, and I cannot find the seller any more.

Are you sure you aren't covered by Ebay/PayPal in this situation?

rjm2k's advice seems best, but if you can't then...

When you say,"unplugged" a circuit, what did you do?
Common on dehumidifiers to have a 2 or more speed fan and a humidistat.
A machine with labels "cool" on the outside won't be a simple dehumidifier - these just expel warmed air. Is it a portable air conditioner?
