Don’t throw out your beer fridge or dehumidifier without checking this!

This video describes a real world repair of a dehumidifier, which has a very similar design to small fridges and coolers. The classical Split Capacitor single phase AC motors that drive these appliances have a couple of weak points that are often fail over time, and you’ll want to check for those problems before buying another. This video is done for entertainment purposes only, and is not a comprehensive instructional video. The details here are offered for free and in good faith but with no guarantee as to accuracy or safety. Any DIY attempt involves risk, both to the individual and to your property. You should carefully assess your own skill set, tools, and tolerance for risk before you decide whether you are willing to accept the risk of DIY repair. Be sure to read widely and never trust information that comes from only one source. Any misadventure you encounter if you decide to accept that risk is on you.
