My dehumidifiers had a humidity control knob. I would expect you
could just adjust that knob to the point where the only came on a
few times a day. You might have to change it seasonally, but this
adjustment means you don't have to open the case.<br>

<p>Curious if there is a way to add a timer on an appliance like
a dehumidifier. <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial,

I really don't need the dehumidifier to run all day long
like it currently does, and trying to save a few bucks and
have it run overnight or a few times a day.</span></p>

</p>
<p>The dehumidifier doesn't have this feature, and has a power
on/off button that must be pressed to turn it back on if power
is cut or it's turned off. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">So I
can't just put it on a regular timer like a light switch. I
could setup the timer to cut power, but when it calls for
power again, it would not turn on.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Perhaps opening it up and bypassing the power switch would
work, though I'm wondering if dehumidifiers need a "soft
start" type of power switch in order to prevent any damage if
powered on suddenly. It's also under an extended warranty so
I'm hesitant to "mod" it and void the warranty.</p>
