Why does my dehumidifier stop collecting water? It hasnt been used much and worked perfectly then just stopped taking in water. The sound is the same. It is a small portable one that takes about 1 litre of water. The brand is AQUA. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Is it one of these?

Assuming the power supply is OK (if the fan is running, that would seem to be the case) there is not much to go wrong, other than probably a failed Peltier element.

Best bet seems to be to simply buy a new one - unless yours is less than 2 years old, in which case the 2 year warranty may be useful.
