DEHUMIDIFIER
DOES NOT OPERATE
DEHUMIDIMER
“DOES NOT DRY THE
AIR AS IT SHOULD”
WATER ON FLOOR
POSSIBLE CAUSE
● Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped loose.
● If plugged in, fuse could have blown or circuit breaker may have tripped.
● Bucket may not be pushed all the way into the dehumidifier.
● When the dehumidifier was first installed, not enough time was allowed for it to
remove the large amount of moisture that had accumulated in the room. As long
as three or four days, with the Humidity Control knob set at “10,” may be
required to achieve and maintain the desired dryness.
● Objects blocking front
andor
back of dehumidifier will restrict air flow and
reduce efficiency.
● Humidity Control may be set too low. Turn control knob to a higher setting.
● Doors
an~or
windows may not be tightly closed.
● Clothes dryer may be blowing moisture-laden air into the room.
● Connection may be loose if hose is attached to dehumidifier for continuous
drain-off.
● Bucket may not be pushed all the way into the dehumidifier.
● Bucket not hung properly from bucket supports (on models with
bucket supports).
