HIGH DEW POINT / HIGH HUMIDITY ALERT

If the dehumidifier measures the dew point of the air to be 4°F or more or 6%RH or more above the setting for 72 consecutive hours, the ALERT
LIGHT will turn on and the display will show "HI" . The dehumidifier will continue to operate as normal when the ALERT LIGHT is on . If the dew
point falls within 4°F of the setting or relative humidity falls within 6%RH of the setting, the ALERT LIGHT will turn off .
The dehumidifier measures the conditions of the incoming air every five (5) minutes even if the dehumidifier is turned off (using the ON/OFF button)
to determine if there is a high dew or humidity condition . Should the dehumidifier be turned off, the alert setting defaults to 57°F or 60%RH .

Action
1 . Cycle power to clear error code .
2 . If error code reoccurs replace User Interface, Part No . 5475 .
1 . Verify that the fan works, the backflow damper swings freely and there is no blocked or
restricted ductwork .
2 . If the fault persists, call Technical Support .
1 . Check connections between Model 76 and dehumidifier control board . Terminals should be fully
inserted and secured in the control board and Model 76 control terminals .
2 . If connections are correct and secure, turn off the dehumidifier and remove the Model 76 .
Use a short section of 4-wire cable to reconnect the Model 76 to the control board . Turn the
dehumidifier back on and increase the dryness level setting on the Model 76 . If the dehumidifier
turns on, the problem is with the wiring between the dehumidifier and control .
3 . If the dehumidifier does not turn on, call Technical Support .
1 . Check the frost sensor connection at the power board . Terminal should be fully seated on the
power board pins .
2 . Remove the side access panel and verify that the sensor is secured to the suction line .
3 . If the sensor is connected and secured to the refrigeration line proceed to the next step .
4 . Reset the fault by cycling power to the dehumidifier .
5 . Turn the humidity setting down (below room/home humidity level) to make a dehumidification call .
6 . Allow the fan and compressor to run for approximately 10-15 minutes and then enter diagnostic
test mode by simultaneously pressing the UP ARROW and MODE buttons for 3 seconds . The
LCD will display the temperature measured by the internal sensor while also displaying AIR
SAMPLING and ON, the humidity measured by the internal sensor while also displaying %RH
and ON, and the frost sensor temperature while also displaying ON . Scroll through these values
and by using the UP/DOWN arrow buttons .
7 . Record values and call Technical Support .
1 . Check the high temperature sensor connection at the power board . Terminal should be fully
seated on the power board pins .
2 . Remove the side access panel and verify the sensor is not damaged and connected to the
refrigeration line coming from the compressor .
3 . If the sensor is connected and secured to the refrigeration line, contact Technical Support .
