I've had a Frigidaire model FAD704DWD dehumidifier since 2014, and although I regularly cleaned the air filter, I could see their was dust completely caked on the evaporator coil fins, so I took the outer shell off to get to the coils to clean them. On the back left of the dehumidifier, to the left of the refrigerant canister there was a semi-opaque plastic container that I could see some nasty brownish substance through. It was held on by come screws, so I removed it, and inside is some weird brown substance wrapped in plastic (see pictures below). Does anyone have an idea what this is? There is no inlet/outlet into this container, so I have no idea what this could possibly do except add weight to the dehumidifier (it's fairly heavy). Sort of smells like modeling clay.
