GE AHG50LB/AHG50LD Dehumidifier is Energy Star Qualified and effectively removes moisture from the air up to 70% Relative Humidity.  This dehumidifier does not require much maintenance and is very easy to use. 

GE AHG50LB Specifications:

  • Height: 20.88″

  • Bucket Capacity: 21 pints

GE AHG50LB features a humidity control pad in which you can set the humidity level within a range of 35% Relative Humidity to 70% Relative Humidity in 5% increments.  The humidity level display shows percent humidity level.  It also has a fan speed pad that controls the fan speed. 

The Bucket Full LED indicates presence of the bucket and its fill level.  The Bucket Full Light glows when the bucket is ready to be emptied, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position.  The Water Level Control Switch shuts off the dehumidifier when the bucket is full, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position.  Also, when the bucket is out of position, the unit will beep for three times toGE AHG50LB AHG50LD alert you.

When frost builds up on the cooling coils, the compressor will cycle off until the frost disappears.  The fan continues to run to draw air across the coil and melt the frost.  When the coil is defrosted, the compressor will automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume. 

If a power outage occurred or if the unit was unplugged, the unit will display its prior setting.  Once power is restored after a power outage, the unit automatically resumes operation after a 2 minute delay.

GE AHG50LB gives you three options to remove the collected water.  You can use the bucket and just empty it when it’s full or you can use a hose.  Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching a water hose to the bucket hose nozzle.  Or you can use a floor drain and place the unit over it to avoid the hassle of emptying the bucket every now and then.
