Troubleshooting.

Possible Cause
The dehumidifier
is unplugged.
Dehumidifier has
reached its preset level
or bucket is full.
Bucket is not in the
proper position.
Power failure.
Did not allow enough
time to remove the
moisture.
Airflow is restricted.
Dirty filter.
The Humidity Control
may not be set low
enough.
Doors and windows may
not be closed tightly.
Clothes dryer may be
blowing moisture-laden
air into the room.
Room temperature is too
low
Area to be dehumidified
is too large
Doors and windows are
open.
Dehumidifier has been
recently turned on, or
room temperature is
below 5°C.
The compressor will turn
off and the fan will auto-
matically continue to run
for approximately 3 min-
utes at a fixed setting.
There is sound created
when wind passing the
unit. That is the sound of
wind.
Hose connection may be
loose.
Intend to use the bucket
to collect water, but a
hose is attached.
What To Do
Make sure the dehumidifier's plug is
pushed completely into the outlet.
The dehumidifier automatically turns off
when either condition occurs. Change to a
lower setting or empty the bucket and
replace properly.
The bucket must be in place and securely
seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
There is a protective time delay (up to 3
minutes) to prevent tripping of the com-
pressor overload. For this reason, the unit
may not start normal dehumidifying
for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.
When first installed, allow at least 24
hours to maintain the desired dryness.
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or
furniture blocking the front or back of the
dehumidifier. See the Choosing a Location
section.
See the Care and Cleaning section.
For drier air, press the "_" pad and set to a
lower percent value (%) or at CO (contin-
uous) for maximum dehumidification.
Check all doors, windows and other open-
ings are securely closed.
Install the dehumidifier away from the
dryer. The dryer should be vented to the
outside.
Moisture removal is best at higher room
temperatures. Lower room temperatures
will reduce the moisture removal rate.
Models are designed to be operated at
temperatures above 5°C.
The capacity of your dehumidifier may not
be adequate.
Close all doors and windows to the out-
side.
This is normal. Frost will usually disappear
with in 60 minutes. See the Automatic
Defrost section.
This is normal. Wait approximately 3 min-
utes and set the fan as desired.
This is normal.
Check the hose connection. See the
Removing Collected Water section.
Disconnect the hose if using the bucket to
collect water. See the Removing Collected
Water section.
