    To access the air filter, remove the filter access panel from the end of the Quest 100 Dehumidifier. The filter should be readily visible and can be removed by pulling it straight out of the Quest 100 Dehumidifier.
  • Page 15: Service

    7.2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The Quest 100 Dehumidifier uses a refrigeration system similar to an air conditioner’s to remove heat and moisture from incoming air, and add heat to the air that is discharged. Hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas is routed from the compressor to the condenser coil. The refrigerant is cooled and condensed by giving up its heat to the air that is about to be discharged from the unit.
  • Page 16 QUEST 100 INSTALL ATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Compressor is not running. Dehumidification is being called for. No fan call. Defective compressor run capacitor. 2. Loose connection in compressor circuit. 3. High pressure switch open or unplugged. 4. Defective compressor.

    QUEST 100 INSTALL ATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Filter Change Light illuminated (too frequently): Change filter if dirty. 2. Hold filter change button to reset filter life hours. 7.4 REFRIGERANT CHARGING If the refrigerant charge is lost due to service or a leak, a new charge must be accurately weighed in. If any of the old charge is left in the system, it must be recovered before weighing in the new charge.

    The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes when the relative humidity of the air in which it is located rises to the set point. It opens when the RH drops 4 to 6% below the set point. If the Quest 100 Dehumidifier does not run, try turning the humidity control Down using arrow on control pad.
