The UD501KOJ5 is an LG 50-pint dehumidifier. Discontinued — LG’s own US product page flags this exact model discontinued (read 24 September 2026); it is out of production but not out of the field, and it is exactly the kind of model that has nowhere else to turn for support. The most common service call on this unit is: compressor running continuously without the room humidity actually dropping.
Service calls on this dehumidifier most often trace to one of a short list: compressor running continuously without the room humidity actually dropping, coil icing over before the bucket is anywhere near full, or bucket-full sensor shutting the unit down with an empty bucket. We confirm which one applies against the model and serial number before ordering a part.
