Possible Causes
Low indoor humidity, Dirty evaporator coil, Incorrect mode or fan speed, Refrigerant system underperforming
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Check humidity: Use a hygrometer to verify indoor humidity. If it is already low (below ~40%), little water will be collected.
- Confirm mode: Ensure the unit is set to DRY mode and not FAN or COOL only.
- Clean filter and coil: Clean the air filter and evaporator coil to maximize moisture removal.
- Fan speed: Use the recommended fan speed for DRY mode (often low or automatic) as per the manual.
- Refrigerant issues: If the unit also cools poorly, a refrigerant or compressor problem may be present and requires professional service.
