2.

If the fault persists, call Technical Support..

 

 

 

 

 

 

E3

Model 76

1.

Check connections between Model 76 and dehumidifier control board.. Terminals should be fully

Self-Correcting

 

Remote Control

 

inserted and secured in the control board and Model 76 control terminals..

 

 

Communication Loss

2.

If connections are correct and secure, turn off the dehumidifier and remove the Model 76.. Use a

 

 

 

 

short section of 4-wire cable to reconnect the Model 76 to the control board.. Turn the dehumidifier

 

 

 

 

back on and increase the dryness level setting on the Model 76.. If the dehumidifier turns on, the

 

 

 

 

problem is with the wiring between the dehumidifier and control..

 

 

 

3.

If the dehumidifier does not turn on, call Technical Support..

 

 

 

 

 

 

E4

Insufficient Capacity

1.

Check the frost sensor connection at the power board.. Terminal should be fully seated on the

Cycle Power

 

 

 

power board pins..

 

 

 

2.

Remove the side access panel and verify that the sensor is secured to the suction line..

 

 

 

3.

If the sensor is connected and secured to the refrigeration line proceed to the next step..

 

 

 

4.

Reset the fault by cycling power to the dehumidifier..

 

 

 

5.

Turn the humidity setting down (below room/home humidity level) to make a dehumidification call..

 

 

 

6.

Allow the fan and compressor to run for approximately 10-15 minutes and then enter diagnostic

 

 

 

 

test mode by simultaneously pressing the UP ARROW and MODE buttons for 3 seconds.. The LCD

 

 

 

 

will display the temperature measured by the internal sensor while also displaying AIR SAMPLING

 

 

 

 

and ON, the humidity measured by the internal sensor while also displaying %RH and ON, and the

 

 

 

 

frost sensor temperature while also displaying ON.. Scroll through these values and by using the

 

 

 

 

UP/DOWN arrow buttons..

 

 

 

7.

Record values and call Technical Support..

 

 

 

 

 

 

E5

High Temperature

1.

Check the high temperature sensor connection at the power board.. Terminal should be fully seated

2.

Remove the side access panel and verify the sensor is not damaged and connected to the

 

 

 

 

refrigeration line coming from the compressor..

 

 

 

3.

If the sensor is connected and secured to the refrigeration line, it may need to be replaced with

 

 

 

 

Part No.. 5456 – contact Technical Support to confirm..

 

 

 

 

 

 

E6

Low Temperature

1.

Check the low temperature sensor connection at the power board..

3.

If the sensor is connected and secured to the refrigeration line, it may need to be replaced with

 

 

 

 

Part No.. 5455 – contact Technical Support to confirm..
