dehumidifier won`t run
hello i have a 54501 model dehumidifier by kenmore ,the unit works for about a couple of minutes then quits .it~s over a year old. i also notice that theres white residue under the collector tank. the light comes on and the tank is empty, use drain hose. any ideas what`s wrong or do i need a new one. any good brand out there because it runs all the time in my basement (damp)

Just test the plug/lead high to common, should have power... low to common should have power.. if you are getting reading, then motor is bad.
if no reading, then. the switch maybe bad.

A volt meter is what you need.....
Motor hook up backward for testing??????? What do you mean by that??
if you are not sure. be best if you didn't do this..
