ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSES
AUTO DEFROST
DISPLAYS
REPEATEDLY
• Turn o unit and unplug 4-6 hours.
• Plug unit back in. Run in Normal mode (no Turbo fan, not on Continuous operation) and set
humidity level to no more than 5% lower humidity than what the display reads for the room humidity.
• Allow time for the unit to run until it successfully reaches initial humidity setting.
• Lower humidity another 5% and repeat until desired humidity is reached. (Average setting should be
45-50%.)
• Be sure unit humidity is not set too low, unit is not sitting on too cold of a oor and unit is not being
used in too cold of a room. (Room should be 41º F or above.)
• Be sure there is sucient air circulation between the unit and the oor.
FROST APPEARS
ON THE COILS • This is normal. The dehumidier has an auto defrost feature. See page 4 for more information.
DEHUMIDIFIER
P2 OR
‘BUCKET FULL’
DISPLAYS
• Verify rubber drain plug is not removed from back of unit if using bucket to collect water.
• Check oat switch (inch length silver tab in top of unit behind bucket) to ensure it is not cracked,
bent, broken, dirty, or obstructed. If bent, re-adjust by re-bending back in place. The switch is
located on the left side behind the bucket when you are facing the unit.
• Check that unit is level and the lter, vents and bucket are thoroughly clean.
• Ensure oat is snapped into place inside the bucket and that foam piece is inserted in oat. See
page 5, Fig. 4.
• Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Plug unit back in. Remove and securely return bucket, then turn
on unit.
DEHUMIDIFIER
NOT
DRAWING
WATER
• Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
• When rst installed, run unit on Continuous Mode for 24 hours.
• Allow enough time for unit to remove moisture.
• Set humidity low enough to ensure moisture removal. Setting the unit below 45% is not
recommended.
• Setting may be the same as actual humidity in room, thus no moisture to remove.
• Be sure all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
• Be sure unit is level and that there is sucient air circulation around the unit, as well as between unit
and oor.
• Make sure unit is level and that there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the unit.
• Check that room temperature is 41º F or above.
• If unit is near a heat source, such as a clothes dryer, etc., relocate unit.
DEHUMIDIFIER
CONSTANTLY
CYCLES ON/OFF
• Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
• Using unit in much less than its stated coverage will likely cause it to go on and o more frequently.
Using too small of a unit will cause it to run constantly.
• If the humidity setting and actual humidity in room are cycling right around the same, the unit will
turn o and on accordingly.
• The fan will run for a few minutes after the compressor shuts o. If you have turned the Continuous
mode on, the fan and compressor will not turn o; they will run continuously in this mode.
• Check that unit is level and the lter, vents and bucket are thoroughly clean and nothing is
obstructing them.
• Be sure all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
• Ensure there is sucient air circulation around the unit, as well as between unit and oor.
• Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Plug unit back in, remove and return bucket to dehumidier and
turn on.

ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSES
DEHUMIDIFIER ALWAYS
RUNNING
• Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
• Allow enough time for unit to remove moisture.
• If set on CONTINUOUS mode, de-select button and set unit to an appropriate humidity
setting.
• If humidity in room is above the set humidity, then unit will be running.
• Be sure all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
• Be sure unit is level and that there is sucient air circulation around the unit, as well as
between unit and oor.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the unit.
• Lower room temperature.
• If unit is near a source of moisture, such as a sink, shower, washing machine, etc., then
relocate unit.
• Check that lter, vents and bucket are thoroughly clean.
CONTINUOUS DRAIN NOT
WORKING PROPERLY
• Be sure hose is CLEAN, pliable and no longer than 6 feet in length (recommended).
Clear tubing with sizing of 5/8 inch for the outer diameter and 1/2 inch for inner diameter
is recommended.
• Hose should be secure on both ends, being especially mindful that it is pushed all the way
onto connector piece inside unit.
• Hose should exit through the back of unit and always be positioned at a DOWNWARD
slope to the desired drain location.
• If using garden hose attached to adapter piece, be sure connection is secure throughout.
• Be sure nothing is obstructing hose connection and there are no kinks or tears in any of
the hosing.
• Ensure unit is level and not tilted forward and that bucket is pushed in all the way. Though
the unit may appear level, if the surface it sits on is even slightly uneven and the front of
the unit is tilted downward, continuous draining may not work. If necessary, slightly prop
up the front two wheels of the unit, taking care that the unit does not fall backward.
• Check that lter, vents and bucket are thoroughly clean.
• If water is going into bucket instead of hose, the unit is working properly. Please double
check all of the above and/or un-hook hosing set-up and start again.
UNIT DOES NOT START
• Make sure the dehumidier's plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
• Check the fuse/circuit breaker box in your home.
• The bucket is full and needs to be emptied OR the water bucket is not in the
proper position.
• If on NORMAL mode, check that the humidity setting is lower than Relative Humidity (RH).
UNIT MAKES A LOUD NOISE
WHEN OPERATING
• Make sure the air lter is clean and not clogged.
• Make sure the unit is upright (not tilted) and on a at, level surface.
• If you are using the pump operation, the unit may be noisy for the rst 3-5 minutes after
the pump begins operating. This is normal.
WATER ON FLOOR
• Check the hose connection points to make sure they are not loose.
• If collecting water in the bucket, make sure continuous drain outlet plug has not been
removed from back of unit and that the unit is level.
• Make sure the foam piece has not been removed from the oat. Without this piece, the
oat mechanism will not work properly and the bucket will overow. See page 5, Fig. 4.
UP AND DOWN PADS ON
CONTROL PANEL DO NOT
ALLOW USER TO ADJUST
