My dehumidifier which is attached to to my central air in the basement won't run at all. I've made sure it sitting level (not sure if there is a gravity switch or not) and have tried to run in test mode, but to no avail. I can't find any diagrams or other docs. to point me in the right direction. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but not sure what I should do first...any help is appreciated.

How old is it?

If you just got it, call the dealer back for warranity service.

If it's over a year, has it run and all sudden stops?

Check breaker/fuse on the house, and in the unit, if it has one?
