The product, in the report: Maytag Dehumidifier 45 pint
I turned the dehumidifier on and there was a spark and smoke came out of the unit. I turned it on again later and it smelled smoky and ran hot. I have been too concerned about the unit catching fire to use it.

The product, in the report: Maytag model M7DH45B2A, made in China and lists a website of Fedders.com.
Maytag dehumidifier, model M7DH45B2A made in China and has a Fedders.com website listed on it. Kept tripping the circuit breaker. I finally had to discontinue use.
Look up same model on Amazon and a person reported her carpet was burned underneath it.
I’ve since replaced this with [REDACTED] and that has been recalled as well as several other brands including Fedders, made by Gree. Perhaps this unit should be added to the recall list!
