POSSIBLE CAUSES

device has intervened

plugged in
• there is no current
• the humidistat is on
minimum
• the tank is full of
water
• the tank is incorrectly
positioned
• filter clogged
• the temperature of the
home is too low
• the dehumidifier is too
close to a heat source
(e.g. a radiator)
• the compressor is off
because the defrosting
device has cut in
SOLUTION

ply
