TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.
Dehumidifier will not run
■
Is the dehumidifier turned on? Turn on dehumidifier.
■
Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong
outlet? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. See “Electrical
Requirements.”
■
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician. See “Electrical
Requirements.”
■
Is bucket installed properly? Reinstall bucket so that it fits
all the way into the dehumidifier.
■
Does bucket need to be emptied? Empty bucket.
■
Is water level float in place? Remove bucket. Make sure
float is snapped in place. Reinstall bucket.
Ice forms on coils
■
Model AD25B dehumidifiers do not have an automatic
deicer. See model and serial number label for model number.
If ice forms on coils, unplug dehumidifier until ice melts and
room temperature rises.
■
All models, except AD25B, have an automatic deicer that
will shut off the compressor and allow the fan to run. This
reduces the ice buildup on the coils. The compressor will
cycle back on when the deicer senses the correct operating
temperature.
Dehumidifier runs but does not dehumidify
■
Do you have model AD25D? Units with this model number
have a deicer that will shut off the compressor and allow the
fan to run. When the deicer senses the correct operating
temperature, the compressor will cycle back on.
■
Do you have control type 2, 3 or 4? Units with these control
types have a deicer that will shut off the compressor and
allow the fan to run. When the deicer senses the correct
operating temperature, the compressor will cycle back on.
■
Do you have control type 3 or 4? If you have selected
Continuous Run, the dehumidifier will run continuously. If the
humidity level is low, little or no water may be collected.
■
The filter (on some models) is dirty or obstructed by
debris. Clean the filter.
Air coming from dehumidifier is warm
■
Dehumidifier will put out warm air under normal operating
conditions.
