Troubleshooting Cont...
The unit has a low water
collection
The unit is operating as normal
but appears to be collecting less
water.
Is the unit being run on
economy setting?
The economy setting is not
suitable for all conditions try
running the unit on AUTO
and see if the collection
increases.
Have you had the unit for a
sufficient length of time?
As a new customer, you may
feel that the collection of
water has reduced after the
initial installation, this is
normal.
Have the weather conditions
changed recently?
If the weather is very cold /
freezing there is less
moisture in the air and the
unit will collect less water.
The unit is not collecting
any water
The unit is operating as normal
but is collecting NO water.
Is the unit on the correct
setting?
Ensure it is not being run on
a Fan only setting.
Has the unit been running for
a reasonable period of time?
24 hours should be sufficient
time for you dehumidifier to
collect water however we
also suggest running the unit
on the Maximum setting for
24 hours.
Is the unit being operated
close to a heat source?
Ensure the unit is placed in a
suitable location – See
Placing you dehumidifier for
maximum performance.
The unit is overflowing
The unit is operating as normal
but is continuing to operate after
the water container is full.
Does the float inside the
water container move freely?
Remove and empty the water
container. Now turn the
container upside down to
check that the float moves
freely – See Diagram B.
Diagram B
Does the unit continue to
operate when the water
container is not present?
Remove the water container
from the unit. The red light
should be illuminated and the
compressor should not
operate.
Is the micro-switch lever
present?
Check the micro-switch lever
(plastic lever located inside
the bucket cavity – See
Diagram A, pg9) is present
and working correctly. When
you press this lever the fan
should start up and the
display should illuminate.
