A mechanical one has a strand of soemthing in it that can be replaced, the spring can be cut down or stretched to adjust if it changes over time. The corroded wires can be replaced. If the chip goes bad and it has a number on it like XD333YTOT23AAA1902**/A to buy a whole new dehumidifier and throw that one in the dumpster, Freon and all. And they probably get a fucking energy star compliance certification. And your money went to a country that uses predatory trade practices. And the landfills fill up until this country is nothing but a landfill. But it's more important to hold it between 71 and 75 % because 69 and 77 % would be totally unacceptable. Right. That's not Luddite, that's green and it is actually conservative, like to conserve. |

As it is, the poster mentioned that this needed tact switches, something a mechanical unit wouldn't have. but what you describe is not the options. Mechanical humidistats are dire in terms of RH control, and not long term reliable. Electronics are accurate and at least some survive long term. I far prefer bimetal thermostats for general heating use, but humidistats are quite a different animal. NT |

A mechanical one has a strand of soemthing in it that can be replaced, the spring can be cut down or stretched to adjust if it changes over time. The corroded wires can be replaced. have you rebuilt a mechanical humidistat? It's nothing like as easy as a bimetal stat. > But it's more important to hold it between 71 and 75 % because 69 and 77 % would be totally unacceptable. > Right. > That's not Luddite, that's green and it is actually conservative, like to conserve. electronic RH control has more chance of surviving long term than a bit of plastic with almost no movement and almost no tension operating a switch mechanism that's barely functional because it's hopelessly weakly operated.

How about a phone call and just give them the damn code ? unfortunately you snipped everything proceding, so who knows what we were saying. I do as a general principle agree with the use of reliable equipment where it's as cheap as junk. Only a fool wouldn't. NT |

I had the original Harbor Freight unit pretty well figured out, and made several modifications. Then they went to surface mount parts and changed the type of circuit, and the parts considerably! I gave up on deciphering the new unit. If you get info, I'm interested. Mikek |
