Troubleshooting Procedure for Performance

This method of diagnosis is used to function
check the internal components in the dehumidifier.
This is to be used when a performance issue is
suspected.
1. Set the humidity controller all the way to the
most humid setting or off position – Did the
unit shut off?
2. If yes, turn the fan setting to the ON position –
does the fan start?
3. If fan starts, leave in the fan ON position and
set the humidity all the way to driest setting.
May have to wait 5 minutes for the compressor
to start.
4. Listen for a distinct buzzing/humming sound
of a compressor starting up – do you hear this
noise?
5. If compressor is running and continues to run,
after about 15 minutes you should feel a slight
increase in air temperature being discharged
out of the discharge air side of the unit.
6. If so, depending on your environmental
conditions (temp/Rh%), you should see some
water production out of the hose within
30 minutes or so. (
Note: If the room
temperature is 55 degrees or below and/or
in area of low relative humidity, the
dehumidifier will produce little to no water.)
7. Collecting the water removed in a 24 hour period
will give a measurement of performance.
