It depends on how much water is in the air to start with and how big the dehumidifier is. Air temperature is also a major factor, cold air can't hold much water whereas warm air can. All a dehumidifier does is drop the air temperature below its dew point making it give up some of the water it holds.

What is the best way to determine if a dehumidifier is working effectively?

What causes a dehumidifier to freeze up?

A dehumidifier is a refrigeration system just like you home fridge or an air conditioner. The evaporator coil cools the air as the air is blown through the coil. This lowers the temperature of the air and thus decreases it's ability to hold water vapour. The water vapour condenses in the cooler air and drops out lowering the overall humidify of the air. When the air flow is restricted or too cool or the humidity is extremely high the water is not carried off of the coil and it condenses on the coil and then if the coil is cool enough the water will freeze forming ice. It is a simple matter to fix, just shut off your dehumidifier, let the ice melt and then put it back in service again.
