TABLE 2 – TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Symptom
Possible Reason
Dehumidifier does not
No power to unit�
turn on/run�
Dehumidifier blower is
Pressure drop across dehumidifier
running but with little or
is higher than 0�7"w�c�
no airflow�
Float switch open�
Dehumidifier blower is
Coil frosting�
running but compressor
is not�
Inlet air temperature is outside of
the 50°F – 104°F range or the dew
point is below 40°F and there is a
demand for dehumidification�
Dehumidifier is not
Drain line blocked or unit not level�
draining properly�
Dehumidifier is
Normal function�
producing hot air�
The HVAC fan turns on
Dehumidifier is sampling�
unexpectedly�
10
Action
1. Empty the condensate pan�
2. Check the float switch connection at the control board�
3. If not using a float switch, verify jumper is between float switch terminals on dehumidifier control
board�
4. If the problem persists, replace the float switch�
1. If temperature is out of range, no action, normal operation�
2. If air temperature is between 50°F – 104°F with a dewpoint above 40°F, contact Technical Support�
Troubleshooting Procedure
• Check that the dehumidifier is plugged in�
• Check that the power switch is turned ON�
• Check that the control is turned ON�
• Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped�
• Check dehumidifier air filter and wash or replace�
• Check for blocked duct work and clear�
• Verify that the outlet collar with backflow damper is installed on the outlet side of the
dehumidifier�
• Check if backflow damper is blocked or stuck and remove obstruction
• If float switch installed, check connections at control board and empty condensate pan�
• If no float switch installed check that the jumper is installed at the float switch terminals on
the control board�
• Lack of or reduced airflow� Check dehumidifier air filter and wash or replace�
• Check that there is nothing blocking the inlet or outlet of the dehumidifier�
• Inlet air conditions below 60°F� Increase the humidity setting�
• Verify all ductwork is properly sealed�
• No action� The compressor will not run if inlet conditions are out of range�
• Verify that the unit is level�
• Check the drain line blockages and for a continuous downward slope�
• Air is reheated across the condenser coil, resulting in a temperature rise between inlet and
outlet�
• The dehumidifier will turn on the HVAC fan during air sampling or as needed to meet the
ventilation time�
