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.

■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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

■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.

Ice forms on coils

■25-pt (11.8 L) dehumidifiers do not have an automatic deicer. See model and serial number label for capacity. If ice forms on coils, unplug dehumidifier until ice melts and room temperature rises.

■Models over 25 pt (11.8 L) 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 control type 2 or 3? 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? You have selected Auto fan speed. The dehumidifier has sensed the humidity level has reached the humidity setting and turned off. It will restart when the humidity level increases.

■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.
