Dehumidifier 15V Power Supply Repair

Merry Christmas!
In this video we repair a 15V 4A Power Supply for a Mini-Dehumidifier. I have a previous video on this same Peltier dehumidifier with issues from the limit switches. I had to eventually replace the cheaper quality limit switches with real OMRON limit switches with no issue with those since. I now have a failed Power Supply on the same unit so lets repair it. This is such a simple unit with nothing but Peltier devices and a fan as the main components. Other than the switches and the PS it is not much else that should be problematic. Hope you find the video helpful and thanks for watching! Happy Holidays!

Thank you and merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks! I like your home make flux holder.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

I do have a video on that. I did put a pop up link at that point of the video. It may not have been obvious. Here is the link if interested. Thanks for your kind comment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYTCiquffKd5gqcsi=439nV1rcoyUJePl5

I had one of these, PS failed only about 4 months in. I got another similar but should have fixed the old one if maybe it was just a cap as well.

[@jdmccorful]

Is that a Peltier device? I wonder after you called it a dehumidifier and said the power block was rated for 4 amps. S/U on compressor would certainly be alot more. I probably missed the first video on this unit's repair. Nice work, thanks for your time.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Yes sir it is a peltier device. It's slow but steady and helps in a small storage room etc. It should be a very reliable unit, but unfortunately they used cheap switches and now I see cheap caps. Hopefully it will run for a few more years. I really like the idea of it and how simple it is. Thanks for your kind comment!

I think I would have drilled a few air holes in it.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

If not for being around water I would have for sure! It can't take being submerged of course, but a splash will be fine. Thanks for your comment!
