Customer service

I have made four attempts so far to contact for product help. No replies.

The provided phone number is not good.

I tried four different email addresses but received no replies. You cannot buy anything these days that has good customer support.

Whole House Air Purifier problem

Soleusair - Whole House Air Purifier problem

I can't get through to customer service! My filter reset button isn't working at all.

I just changed the filter and the bar shows 'replace'. The air purifier is 8 months old.

Soleusair - Cannot contact business
Updated by user Jun 29, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I had to drill down on Amazon's website to find an email address.

The info that came with the Soleus dehumidifier was false. The phone number did not work. The company (which apparently was not Soleus) that sold me the unit paid to have it returned to them and refunded the purchase.

No questions asked. It was all a huge hassle, but I was made whole in the end.

Original review Jun 17, 2024
Here's what an insert in the packaging says: "STOP. PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THIS PRODUCT TO THE STORE.

Our helpful and friendly staff is happy to help with any questions you may have about your new Soleus Air Product. Please call us at out toll-free technical support and warranty service number: 1-87*-***-****. " What happens when you call that number? Try it.

It's some health care organization. What about inside the user manual? Same number. What about their website (https://soleusair.com)?

There is no contact information. Not even an address. When I try to return it via Amazon, I'm offered a return shipping label, but I am expected to pay for the shipping. What?!
So here's the problem with the product.

It is REALLY loud. According to the manual, the decibel (dB) range should be 49 - 53. Instead, it is 61-65. If you are not familiar with dB, that may not sound like a huge leap, but the dB scale is not linear.

On a linear scale 500 is ten times more than 50.

On the decibel scale 60 is ten times more than 50. So, this dehumidifier is ten times louder than it should be.

1 year old Soleus saddle window AC does not cool after only being used intermittently for a couple of months.

Updated by user Jul 25, 2024

I heard from the company and since my AC is two months past the warranty they will not replace it. Their only suggestion was to call their technical department and they would give me tips on getting it going again.

Well I have already troubleshooted all the stuff they mentioned on their website so talking to someone over the phone isn't going to help. I have consulted a trusted HVAC tech who says from what I have described it is more than likely the compressor is gone and so the whole thing is a boat anchor. He has kindly offered to have a look at it for me for free to determine if he can fix it.

However, if it needs parts that could be an expensive as well as long process. I have asked Soleus it they could perhaps at least give me some kind of a discount or credit towards purchasing another AC but so far have heard nothing back from them.

A 1 year old Soleus saddle window AC does not cool after only being used intermittently for a couple of months. Yes, I have cleaned the filters, drained the water, and checked for anything blocking it from the outside.

The only thing I can tell you is that just before it stopped working, I heard a flapping noise coming from the unit. It sounded like a piece of paper was stuck in the fan, which it is not.

After a few hours, it stopped making the noise and then it would no longer cool. I feel this should not have happened on a virtually new AC.

Portable air conditioner issue

Original review updated Jun 24, 2024

Portable air conditioner GL-PAC-08E4, Serial # 100*****. Unit recently returned from a friend will not stay turned on.

When plugged into a wall outlet, the unit turns on for 1 second. The display lights up, and the number 88 appears in the display. The unit beeps once. Then it turns off!

If the on/off button is then pressed, nothing happens. If I unplug the unit and reset the end of the power cord, the same thing happens, with the unit turning off after 1 second.

I have tried several outlets in my home, all on different circuits, with the same result. I would appreciate any help resolving this issue.

How old is it. If you have no warranty left it will cost you to fix it.

70 pint dehumidifier quit condensing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I replaced my dehumidifier under their recall program. The new unit quit working after a year or so I tried contacting customer service.

I had no response from them.

I talked with Menards store where I purchased . They no longer carry this brand because of issues with the company so at this point, I will take the loss and dispose of the bad unit.

Clogged drain pump

No answer from tech support about how to access this critical part. It gets clogged and there's no way to clean it, therefore; the AC unit will leak on the floor, even when correctly installed.
