I neglected to mention that I ended up putting one of these Inkbird digital humidity controllers on my Santa Fe. I got the wifi version so I can keep an eye on it from my phone. They work well. I can't say the same for the Santa Fe, looks like it reached 3 years of life and retired.

If you are looking for a new dehumidifier, look at the vevor branded ones. I've had one running for a few months. Build quality seems really good. Heavy unit, 80+ lbs. Can't beat it for the price. I am currently in the process of encapsulating my crawl space and have bare dirt floor right now. It pulls out 10+ gallons a day. I can buy a fleet of Vevors for what one Santa Fe runs

Thanks, I will look into them.
 
Interestingly enough, one of mine “retired “ this year as well. Only two years old. Pretty disappointed but I filed a warranty claim. Alorair is the model. It did a fantastic job, when it was alive.
