SMEG
Poor Dehumidification Performance
Unit operates but room humidity remains high; clammy feeling
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Oversized unit cycling off too quickly, Fan speed set too high, Dirty evaporator coil, Incorrect thermostat or mode settings (e.g., FAN or DRY misuse)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for basic adjustments.
- Use DRY mode: On humid days, select DRY mode to prioritize dehumidification.
- Lower fan speed: Use a lower indoor fan speed to increase moisture removal.
- Clean filters and coil: Ensure the evaporator is clean for efficient condensation.
- Check capacity: If the SMEG unit is significantly oversized, consider zoning or using a smaller unit for better humidity control.
If humidity remains high despite long run times, have a technician verify refrigerant charge and system performance.
