Symptom
Solutions
Dehumidifier does not start.
•
Make sure the dehumidifier's plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
•
The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either condition occurs:
o
Change to a lower setting
o
Empty the water bucket and replace properly.
•
The bucket must be in place and securely seated for operation.
•
There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to prevent the overload of
the compressor. For this reason, the unit may not start normal
dehumidification for 3 minutes after it is powered back on.
Dehumidifier does not dry the air
as it should.
•
When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the desired dryness.
•
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front or back
of the dehumidifier. See CHOOSING A LOCATION (Page 10).
•
See CLEAN FILTER (Page 7).
•
For drier air, lower the percent humidity desired in the room, or set the
dehumidifier to continuous mode for maximum dehumidification.
•
Check that all doors, windows, and other openings are securely closed.
•
Install the dehumidifier away from a clothes dryer.
•
Moisture removal is best at high room temperatures. Lower room
temperatures will reduce the moisture removal rate. This model is designed to
operate at temperatures above 41˚F (5˚C).
Dehumidifier runs too much
•
The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be adequate for the room size.
•
Close all doors and windows to the outside.
Frost appears on the coils
•
Frost will usually disappear within 60 minutes.
Controls cannot be set
•
Wait approximately 3 minutes and set the fan speed at the desired level.
Water on the floor
•
Check the hose connection. See CONTINUOUS MODE - GARDEN HOSE
INSTALLATION (Page 11).
•
Disconnect the hose if using the bucket or place the hose near a drain.
