My dehumidifier is fortunately not on the list, however I did see on the CPSC website that I have been using a recalled APC surge protector that I just now disconnected. Just filed my claim.
Thanks for the recall alert in general! |

I have 3 shotguns in there including an Antonio Zoli O/U that is worth a good amount, a Remington 1100, 4 AR's, 7 AKs and a few deer rifles.

Thank you. thanks for letting me know whether burgling you is worth the effort. now I know Yeah, you go ahead and do that, I keep a loaded AK in the room and have a pistol within reach. One guy tried it once. He didn't run fast enough. The baseball bat was put to good use, the police showed up but turned around and walked back around the garage until I finished with him. When the police arrive they'll find that you were armed. |

Another owner of a 70 pint Sears dehumidifier on the recall list. What is the drill??? Call Sears??? Are they giving refunds for what the initial cost was?? Mine is in my G/F's deceased Mom's house now, if it burns the house down that would save her the trouble of selling it...........

Thanks for the heads up. Mine was on the list - it's been running 24/7/365 in my basement since 2010. Yikes!
Unplugged it and sent in my information to gree for a return kit. I wonder how much I'll get for it. For those of you with a recalled dehumidifier, here's the website where you can apply for your return kit to get a refund (you have to send back the name plate & power cord) http://www.greedehumidifierrecall.com/ProductEntry.aspx |

I've got GE 30 pint that looks damn near identical made almost a year later that's not recalled. I called GE to verify. If your'e not sure call and verify, they all have hotlines and the wait's not too bad. |

I had a Frigidaire which was on that list, but was replaced under warranty before the recall. Originally purchased at Lowes in 2010, and used probably eight months a year . I started noticing that there was hardly any water in the bucket, and the compressor was running nearly constantly without much effect on the room humidity. Before putting in the warranty claim, I opened the back cover to see if there was anything to service, and noticed the compressor was literally too hot to even touch. Frigidaire had me send the label and receipt in, and I was offered and received a reimbursement for the full retail price I had paid for the dehumidifier. I thought that was very generous and wondered at that time if they knew of a problem that they offered to pay me back the full price.

Talking to the Gree girl now. She says $239 will be what I am refunded. I have a 50 pint Frigidaire that is subject to the recall.
edit: I can't recall how much it cost up front. I got it at Lowes, I'm not sure if it cost more than that or not. Probably, but it's better than having a charred basement. |

Im going to give them a couple of days to "change their mind" before I put it out there. I will at least try to be fair. I posted it on Illinois Carry and 1911forum.com and they let it be. The "other" forum said I was spamming them but then said they wanted to do a story about it later. So before I name them I will give them a few days to see if they are just bullshitting me or not. I am just glad so many people are taking it serious. I wish I had known a week earlier. The recall was issued the 12th and my fire happened the 19th. I was sitting here and it struck me there is a real connection between dehumidifiers and firearm enthusiasts so I decided to get it out there. After that it took off and spread. The more that hear about it the better. I will let you know if they decide to do a story or not. |

Got in touch with Gree, and they are sending me a kit to remove certain parts off my dehumidifier unit and return to them, and then they'll cut me a $299 check (average retail price of the unit). I told them that I had the purchase receipt and that I paid less than that, but they said everyone gets the same amount. Okay by me, hopefully it'll buy me another decent unit.
Of course, try finding a unit NOT made in China. Rots a Ruck with that. |

That's what I did when I saw my unit wasn't on the Gree list. I hit on LG (my unit not covered) but also saw there were Kenmore units recalled. |
