“Will the dehumidifier still run with the "clean filter " light on. This unit will be in a basement location that will not be accessed every 10 days so we do not want the unit to shut off while waiting for us to reset the filter light.”

Jon. I bought this for my dad in his basement. It sounds like a similar situation yours. I havent had to use it personally but the manual says the light comes on after 250 running hours. After which the light will remind you to check/clean the filter. It doesn't say anything about it stopping the unit. However the bucket being full would stop the unit. It does according to the manual have a drain hose setup which could be used to a sump pump. It definitely ran good and pretty quiet. My dad has some hearing aids and he asked me if it was running and he was only in the other room in the basement. Seems like a good dehumidifier.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have had the unit long enough, and have had it on continuously for the last month. The light to clean the filter has gone on and the unit has NOT shut off for that reason. I checked the filter and it is still very clean, so I touched the reset for 3 seconds and it went off. I am very happy with this purchase. The humidity level has gone down from 80 when I started to 55 or 60 depending on the weather. My basement has water seepage every time it rains and this unit drys it out better and faster than my older model.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Jon - Thanks for considering GE! The unit will continue to run with the "clean filter " light on. The "clean filter" light will come on after 250 hours of operation to remind you to clean the filter. If the air filter is clogged, it can reduce the performance of the unit. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com! Sue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The light indicates that the filter needs servicing. It will not keep the unit from operating. But you need to clean that filter. Easily done at the sink with the hand sprayer.
