TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Before calling for service, please review the chart below.
AUTO DEFROST
DISPLAYS REPEATEDLY
Turn off unit and unplug 4-6 hours.
Plug unit back in. Run in normal mode (no Turbo fan, not on Continuous operation).
Be sure unit humidity is not set too low, unit is not sitting on too cold of a floor and unit is not being used in too
cold of a room. (Room should be 41º F or above.)
Be sure there is sufficient air circulation between the unit and the surface on which it is sitting.
DEHUMIDIFIER’S BUCKET FULL
LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED EVEN
THOUGH BUCKET IS EMPTY
Verify drain plug is not removed from back of unit if using bucket to collect water.
Check float switch (inch length tab in top of unit behind bucket) to ensure it is not cracked, broken or stuck.
The switch is located on the right side behind the bucket when you are facing the unit.
Check that unit is level and the filter, vents and bucket are thoroughly clean.
Ensure float is snapped properly into place inside the bucket. (See page 4 for description of “float” piece.)
Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Plug back in unit. Remove and return bucket securely, then turn on unit.
DEHUMIDIFIER NOT
DRAWING WATER
Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
Allow enough time for unit to remove moisture.
Set humidity low enough to ensure moisture removal.
Setting may be the same as actual humidity in room, thus no moisture to remove.
Be sure all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
Be sure unit is level and that there is sufficient air circulation around the unit, as well as between unit and floor.
Make sure unit is level and that there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the unit.
Check that room temperature is 41º F or above.
If unit is near a heat source, such as a clothes dryer, etc., relocate unit.
Clean the air filter and air outlet.
DEHUMIDIFIER
CONSTANTLY CYCLES
ON/OFF
Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
Using unit in much less than its stated coverage will likely cause it to go on and off more frequently. Using too
small of a unit will cause it to run constantly.
If the humidity setting and actual humidity in room are cycling right around the same, the unit would go off and
on accordingly.
The fan will run for a few minutes after the compressor shuts off. If you have turned the Continuous mode on,
the fan and compresser will not turn off; they will run continuously in this mode.
Check that unit is level and the filter, vents and bucket are thoroughly clean and nothing is obstructing them.
Be sure all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
Ensure there is sufficient air circulation around the unit, as well as between unit and floor.
Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Plug back in unit, remove and return bucket to dehumidifier and turn on.
UNIT DOES NOT START
Make sure the dehumidifer’s plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
Check the fuse/circuit breaker box in your home.
The bucket is full and needs to be emptied.
The water bucket is not in the proper position.
Issue
Possible Solutions
UNIT MAKES A LOUD NOISE
WHEN OPERATING
Make sure the air filter is clean and not clogged.
Make sure the unit is upright (not tilted) and on a flat, level surface.
NOTE:
A highly recommended troubleshoot for any issue in general consists of turning off unit and unplugging for 5 minutes.
It is also recommended to try another wall outlet.
