Abstract: We provided a dehumidifier with a temperature-sensing safety feature. The temperature probe is in direct contact with the discharge tube, as opposed to the industry standard of measuring temperature at the evaporator. In case the discharge tube overheats, it causes the resistance of the temperature probe to increase above a threshold value. The temperature probe then sends a signal to pause operation of the compressor. In a preferred embodiment, the compressor resumes operation when the temperature returns to normal, unless it overheats repeatedly. The temperature probe remains intact and may be used indefinitely. In preferred embodiments, the temperature-sensing safety feature is combined with a timing safety feature and/or a current-sensing safety feature.
