11002017000725 Danby Dehumidifier Fan Motor – Unit Stops Pulling Moisture When This Motor Fails

When the shaded pole fan motor fails in your Danby dehumidifier, airflow through the evaporator coils stops — and without airflow, the unit can no longer pull moisture from the air. The result is a dehumidifier that runs but does nothing, or one that shuts off on a safety fault. Part 11002017000725 is the genuine OEM replacement motor that restores proper fan operation and gets your dehumidifier working again.

Symptoms of a Failed Dehumidifier Fan Motor

• Dehumidifier runs but humidity level in the room doesn’t drop
• No airflow from the unit — fan not spinning despite compressor running
• Unit shuts off shortly after starting (thermal overload / safety cutout)
• Humming or buzzing sound with no fan movement
• Coils freezing over due to lack of airflow across the evaporator
• Unit displays an error code or fault light related to fan or airflow
