How well do desiccant dehumidifiers work?

Desiccant dehumidifiers work by using a large desiccant wheel to adsorb moisture from the process air stream. This heated air steam picks up the moisture from the wheel, in turn drying the wheel so it is reactivated and able to continue to dry the process air.

Why do most dehumidifiers stop working?

Overload. If your dehumidifier is no longer pulling water from the air and you have verified that the ambient room temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit, then the unit’s compressor may not be running. A common cause for the overload to fail is from operating the dehumidifier on long or undersized extension cords.
