TROUBLESHOOTING 

Problem 

Possible Causes 

Solutions 

The dehumidifier does not 
operate. 

 

Power failure / outage. 

 

The automatic switch, line fuse, 
or breaker has been tripped. 

 
 
 

 

The power supply voltage is 
too low. 

 

The power cord is damaged. 

 
 

 

The dryness level you selected 
has been reached. 

 

Drain bucket is full or not  
positioned properly. 

 

Restore the power supply. 

 

Flip the switch / change the fuse / turn the 
breaker back on. Also note that you may 
have too many appliances drawing power 
on one circuit, you may need to move the 
other appliances to another circuit. 

 

Move the appliance onto another circuit 
with the correct voltage. 

 

Call for service. Only authorized person-
nel should replace damaged power cord 
or power plug. 

 

If you want to remove more moisture, set 
the unit on Continuous operation. 

 

Empty drain bucket and insert the bucket 
to the appliance properly. 

The dehumidifier runs too 
much. 

 

Windows or doors near dehu-
midifier are open. 

 

Area to be dehumidified is too 
large. 

 

Air movement through dehu-
midifier is blocked. Air grille 
may be dirty. 

 

 

Continuous mode is on. 

 

Close all windows or doors. 

 

 

You may need an additional dehumidifier 
for area. 

 

Clean the air filter. 

 

The appliance must be placed in a space 
that does not restrict air flowing into the 
rear coil or out of the front grille. 

 

Set the RH% level and the appliance will 
stop when the set RH% is reached. 

The dehumidifier runs but the 
room is not dry enough.  

 

Humidity setting (RH%) is too 
high. 

 

 

The dehumidifier does not have 
sufficient clearance to operate. 

 

Room temperature is too low. 

 

 

Windows or doors are opened . 

 

Set the humidity level to a lower RH%. 
We recommend setting the RH% to at 
least 10% lower than the current RH%. 

 

Ensure there is at least 10” of clearance 
for proper ventilation. 

 

The appliance will not operate satisfacto-
rily if the room temperature is below 41°F 

 

Close windows or doors. 

Frost appears on the coils 
above the bucket.  

 

The dehumidifier has been 
turned on recently. 

 
 
 

 

Room temperature is too low. 

 

This is normal due to refrigerant rushing 
through the coil. Frost will usually disap-
pear within 60 minutes. This happens 
when the appliance is operating in low 
temperatures less than 53°F . 

 

The appliance will not operate satisfacto-
rily if the room temperature is below 41°F. 

The dehumidifier makes loud 
noise.  

 

Appliance is not leveled. 

 

Shut off the appliance and let it sit on lev-
el surface for at least 6 hours. 

Many common portable dehumidifiers problems are easily resolved. Try the troubleshooting suggestions 
below to see if the problems can be resolved before having to contact the service department.
