Your system is overcharged.Lower the charge and you wont get liquid coming back.But replacing the cap tube would be a good idea if it has a large diameter cap tube.
Usually air conditioners have short wide capillary,not sure if a dehumidifer does or not.

BTW are you capable if recharging it after changing the capillary?
To get rid of the liquid slugging you could heat the suction line using some kind of pipe heater.

But since it is overcharged,by lowering the charge you can get a lower liquid temp.
