Possible Causes

Room too large for unit capacity, Low refrigerant charge, Evaporator coil partially frozen, Incorrect fan speed setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off and unplug before cleaning or inspection.

  • Check capacity: Confirm that the Soleus Air unit's BTU rating is appropriate for the room size and humidity level.
  • Clean filters and coils: Dirty coils reduce moisture removal. Clean as described earlier.
  • Use lower fan speed: In DRY mode, a lower fan speed can increase dehumidification by allowing more contact time with the coil.
  • Professional check: If performance remains poor, a refrigerant or compressor issue may be present and should be evaluated by a technician.
