Dehumidifier does not start
The dehumidifier is unplugged.
Make sure the dehumidifier’s plug is pushed completely into
the outlet.
The fuse is blown / circuit break-
er is tripped.
Check the house fuse / circuit breaker box and replace fuse or
reset breaker.
Power Failure.
There is a protective time delay (up to 3 min.) to prevent trip-
ping of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may
not start normal dehumidification for 3 min. after it is pow-
ered back on.
Dehumidifier does not dry the
air as it should
Not enough time allowed for unit
to remove moisture.
When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the
desired dryness.
Airflow is restricted.
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking
the front or top of the dehumidifier. See the

The dehumidifier has recently
been turned on or the room
