Default de-humidifier

so far, this is what I'm working with.
I've removed the control board and wired the compressor to run non-stop just so I can check the amp draw on it for a bit. I think the control board wasn't working right and was only keeping compressor on for about 20sec and then I had to do a power reset to get it to come back on again.
I don't know if it would be bad on the compressor to leave it on for extended periods or not, so I've only kept it on for about 5 min so far.
I was drawing about 350 watts at first, then was about 430 watts by the time 5 min passed and I shut it off.
I found the following specs online for this LG compressor
BTU/hr cooling capacity
7250
Watts cooling capacity
2125
Motor input watts
671
EER - Btu/W.hr
10.8
COP - w/w
3.16
