It could be the defrost thermostat has failed.

It is round in shape and it mounted on the coils.

Sheila,
The only thing I could find on the coils was tube shaped and clamped to the coils with two wires going to the main circuit board. The wiring diagram shows a thermistor , but I don;t know where it is located.

Can you please supply your model number?

With it I may be able to bring up a picture of your unit.

Nangel 78,

No, I did not get this problem fixed. I bought a new dehumidifier. I still want to repair the old one though.
Thanks,
Joe

Here is a link to your dehumidifier model AHG40FCG1.

Your sensor might be faulty.

It is number 13 on the parts breakdown.
