Can Frigidaire FAD704TDP run in basements at 60 -65 degrees: Does anyone have this unit running at these temperatures?

It will run, but the compressor will constantly freeze up, shut off, and re-start once defrosted - All the dehumidifiers will do this at lower temperatures. At 63 to 65 degrees, it took over 2 days to fill the bucket in my basement. Now that the temperture is between 68 -70, the machine runs well. I ran my furnace fan to raise the basement temperature, but it also raised the humidity. j.

I've been running it in a 65 gal marine talk with a 10 gal refugium. I placed in the sump area of the refugium. It worked fine for me in a building that is climate controlled around 74-75 degrees. I found mine to be miscalibrated around 2.5 degrees, though, so you may want to consider an alternate thermometer if you have sensitive stock.

Are you asking what the temps were indoors and outdoors when I had it running? If so, this summer our indoor temp ran roughly around 80 upstairs, and in the basement it was always at least 10 degrees lower.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

I can't say for sure but I have it in a 100 gallon system in a basement and it keeps it at 70 degrees with no trouble. I would get one, if it can't keep up grab a second one.

Down into the freezing area, you'll be fine. Even short periods of sub freezing if it's covered. It will run most of the time but stay 104. Below zero? I doubt it.

Hello, Our basement does not get quite that cold so I am unsure. I would call the company and ask. If it would not freeze up, it works amazing. It is a great item.

During the winter my basement's temperature gets into the 50s but, the humidity is so low that the unit hardly ever runs.I have one of the new electric heat pump water heaters and that doesn't produce any water either in the winter.

I have not used it outdoors in cold weather. My basement area does get down to 36 degrees or so and there has been no problem at that temperature.

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

I don't know!! Mine haven't iced up. I keep my house between 68-72 F. On the Frigidaire, I keep the humidity at 75 and the fan on low. So far it has worked like a champ!

I have mine in the garage. The temperature dosn't get quite get that low, but I can't see why it would not run at that temp.You are still above freezing.Richard S.

Yes I have had no issues with unit so far. And with the sub zero temperatures lately it is still working fine.

From the Frigidaire.com website you can compare the 2. It says the newer model will cool a 250 sq ft room compared to 216; Energy Efficiency Ratio is 11.2 /10.7; Amps are 4.7/5.2; otherwise, they're the same

We're operating the dehumidifier in our basement which is about 50 to 60 degrees. At times during the very hot days, it may get up to 80. It has proved to do an outstanding job. We dump the container at least twice a day. We are very pleased with its performance.

Mine works great. Three stal garage just use it to keep above freezing. It is expensive to run.
