[Milsurplus] OT: BA rust in a coastal environment?

[Rolynn PRECHTL K7DFW]

>   Sears had a wide line of dehumidifiers and I used one here for some
years.  Most of them have a humidity sensor and will automatically turn on
if the surrounding air gets too humid.
============================

Darn good idea.

Should someone have one of their older models or are looking to purchase an
older model, be aware of this FIRE HAZARD......

Whirlpool is recalling approximately 1.4 million Whirlpool, Comfort-Aire and
Sears Kenmore dehumidifiers. The dehumidifiers are white plastic, about
2-feet high and have a front-mounted water bucket. They have serial numbers
that begin with QG, QH, QJ, QK or QL. The serial and model numbers can be
found on a label located on the wall behind the water bucket.

During operation of the dehumidifier, overheating can ignite internal
components and cause a fire, which could cause personal injury or property
damage.
