Troubleshooting Procedure for Performance  

Related Issues
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 com-

pressor 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. 

 

WARNING!

 

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD:  

ELECTRICAL POWER MUST BE PRESENT 

TO PERFORM SOME TESTS. THESE TESTS 

SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED 

SERVICE PERSON.

Fan is not running. 

Dehumidification  

or fan is being called 

for.

1.  Loose connection in  

fan circuit.

2.  Obstruction prevents fan 

impeller rotation.

3. Defective fan.
4. Defective fan relay.

Low dehumidification 

capacity (evaporator is 

frosted  

continuously).  

Dehumidification is be-

ing called for.

1.  Defrost thermostat loose or 

defective.

2. Low refrigerant charge.
3.  Dirty air filter(s) or air flow 

restricted.

4.  Excessively restrictive ducting 

connected to unit.

No ventilation. Ven-

tilation is being called 

for.

1.  Loose connection in  

ventilation control circuit.

2.  Loose connection in damper 

power circuit.

3.  Defective fresh air damper.

Dehumidifier  

removes some  

water, but not as much 

as expected. 

1.  Air temperature and/or humid-

ity have dropped. 

2.  Humidity meter and or ther-

mometer used are  

out of calibration.

3.  Unit has entered defrost cycle. 
4.  Dirty air filter(s) or air flow is 

restriced. 

5.  Defective defrost  

thermostat. 

6. Low refrigerant charge. 
7.  Air leak such as loose cover or 

ducting leaks. 

8. Defective compressor. 
9. Restrictive ducting.
