Your dehumidifier draws 6.5 amps maximum. When the compressor starts the amperage will increase to 18 amps for a millisecond. If it is tripping a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker and then running okay for long periods of time, I doubt the problem is in the dehumidifier.
I suspect you have a weak circuit breaker or a loose wire on the circuit breaker causing it to trip.
Run an extension cord from another circuit and see if the dehumidifier trips that circuit breaker.
If the 2nd circuit breaker trips check the connections in the dehumidifier for the compressor and capacitor. A loose connection might cause the problem.
