QuestionI keep getting an FO code. I've cleaned the filter several times and the machine still won't run. The reset filter button doesn't seem to work. What does this code mean? What needs to be done to get the machine to work again?
Asked 7 years ago by Dean.
- Answer I contacted Fridgidaire today via the live chat on their website regarding my dehumidifier that was displaying this error code. It was purchased in 7/2018 and is now 12/2019, so I thought that the 1-year warranty was expired and that they would not be able to do anything. I decided to try anyways, and they stated that this issue is a part of the unit's sealed system, which is actually covered for 5 years! I have to send them a few photos and some additional information, but they will be sending me a replacement unit. I recommend trying this before modifying any of the sensors or wiring internally on your own. (I'm a low voltage electronics tech, so that would have been my next step.. Contact them first!)

QuestionWhat is room(s) size capacity of the 50 & 70 pint dehumidifiers?I currently have a Fridigidaire Model FAD704DUD dehumidifier & am trtying to determine the capacity requirement of another Fridgidaire dehumidifier. 1.) What is the "cubic feet" capacity (not pints/day) of the 50 & 70 dehumidifiers? 2.) I would like to know if the dehumidifier can also reduce the humidity from an adjoining room with the door closed? Thank you,
Asked 9 years ago by Al.
- Answer I'm not sure of the cubic feet. I have it in a finished basement that is about 1000 SF and 3 separate rooms. It works fine if all the doors are open, but it won't work pulling moisture from a room with the door closed. They say for it to work most efficient to put it in a room and close that door...but I found it works fine for the whole basement with all doors left open to the rooms. 1000 SF by 10 foot ceiling so about 10,000 cubic feet. I have the 50 pint dehumidifier. But when we were at about 90-95% humidity I had to empty it every 12 hours or so. Now that the basement is about 50% humidity I only need to empty it every 2-3 days.

QuestionDoes a Frigidaire 70 pint dehumidifier automatically restart after a power failure or does it have to be manually restarted? Owned another brand that had to be manually restarted and definitely do not want another w/o auto restart.
Asked 6 years ago by JMK70.
- Answer I can't speak for a power outage specifically, but after reading this question, I unplugged it while it was running and let it sit for a good 15 minutes or more. When I plugged it back in, it started running again without having to push the on button. So, my obsevation is yes, it will restart automatically. I hope that helps.

QuestionDoes the bucket fill up to top. If so, then how do,Imempty without spilling water?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer There is a bit of a lip, and a kind of lid that flaps open when you go to pour. I was able to carry my bucket upstairs to pour outside without spilling. I have trouble carrying a cup of water without spilling, so, pretty effective spill-proof container.

QuestionWe just want to use the dehumidifier in a small basement - 2 normal size rooms We don't need it for upstairs, which is 2 stories. Is the 70 Pint too big? Only area that smells musty and has slight mold issues. It's also about 60 degrees down there.
Asked 6 years ago by Gordy.
- Answer Hi Gordy! Thank you for your inquiry. It can depend on the dampness level. A 70 pint dehumidifier with a wet dampness level is recommended for 700 square feet. A very damp or wet dampness level is recommended for 1000 square feet; while a slight or moderate dampness level is recommended for 1500 square feet. We hope this helps! -Thanks!-

QuestionDoes a small drainage hose come with it for the continuous feature ? I plan on just using a bucket (thanks)
Asked 6 years ago by Lynne.
- Answer no it does not. I cut an old garden hose. I purchased replacement parts for the hose at my local hardware store. I think the dehumidifier has a Male end so you need a female end on your hose. good luck

QuestionIs a 70 pint unit an overkill for an apartment approximately under 700 sq ft?
Asked 6 years ago by Mold.
- Answer Hey, Frigidaire Customer! Great Question! It really depends on the humidity level in the room. For a 700 square foot room that feels wet and/or smells musty, has seepage appearing on walls and floors, and even mold growth you may need a 60-70 pint dehumidifier. Whereas a 700 square foot room that often feels damp and often smells musty may only need a 50-pint dehumidifier. Hope this helps! -Alexis
