¡
Dehumidified air passes through heating coils causing it to
warm (this unit is not a cooler). This is not a malfunction.

Check to see if the temperature/humidity is low.
Low room temperature/humidity reduces dehumidifying
effectiveness (in winter, the air is cooler reducing the amount
of water collected).
This is not a malfunction.
