Some problems need a professional’s expertise, but many issues can be addressed simply and quickly by following effortless steps.

Following in an ultimate guide to Troubleshooting.

Low or No Water Level

If you feel the dehumidifier is running incorrectly, not eliminating the high humidity, there might be a humidifier issue.

  • Issues can happen due to low or no water level and require a drier setting. On the other hand, if it continuously runs without filling the tank, an issue could be in the refrigeration system.
  • You need to clean the filter, and if the filter is not working correctly, you may need to take it to an appliance repair shop.

Dehumidifier Stops Running

If the indicator light is on, but the dehumidifier does not run, check the tank’s water level. There is usually a switch that turns the unit off when the tank is full. If the tank is not complete, the switch may still have been accidentally activated by the tank’s position. Readjusting the tank or pushing the switch with your finger should resolve the issue.

No Air Comes Out When It Is Running

There is a fan in the dehumidifier to pull air from the room over the coils. When no air is blowing out of the dehumidifier, there can be an error in the motor’s fan; it may be burned and need to be replaced

Frost on the CoilsFrost On The Coils

The evaporator (placed at the back of the dehumidifier) is made up of coils that get very chilled while the unit runs. If the air temperature is too cold, the condensation will frost.

If you want to look for the coils for frost, unplug the unit and turn it off for safety. If there is ice on the coils, it means there is an issue with coils.

Troubleshooting of frost build-up include:

Switch off the dehumidifier so that the room temperature may rise.

  1. Put on a heat source in the room.
  2. Change the dehumidifier position at a higher location since heat will rise.

Many dehumidifiers have an automatic defroster that turns off the compressor and runs the fan to melt frost before restarting operation. If you live in a very cold area, you need to buy one that works at a lower temperature.
