Dehumidfier repair

Anyone know someone who can repair a dehumidifier. Basically need an AC buy willing to take a look.

Here you go! Just add ductwork.

Clearly, you have never looked at my boat in the summer in the slip.

An A/C does not do well when the outside temperature is 30 degrees.

Most Dehu's won't work under 65.

65? Very Interesting. This is from the owner's manual:

The unit is designed to operate between 41 ?F (5 ?C), and 96 ?F(35 ?C). The unit will not work
properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will
fall greatly

Thanks for all the positive help, but I really would like to get it fixed. The AC unit works well in the summer but is heavy.

Hmm. I see now that I misspelled guy (buy). I don't want to buy one I want to have the one I have repaired. Might just need gas. At the moment it runs but does not dehumidify. No heat coming out of it.
