Dehumidifier displays F2 and will not start, often after being moved

Safety: Disconnect from mains before tilting or moving the unit.

• Level the appliance: Place the dehumidifier on a flat, stable surface. Use a spirit level if available. Adjust feet if the model has adjustable legs.
• Wait after moving: If the unit was recently transported or tilted, leave it upright and unplugged for at least 2 hours to allow compressor oil to settle.
• Locate tilt sensor: Inside, look for a small cylindrical or rectangular sensor module mounted on the chassis, often near the base. Ensure it is firmly attached and in the correct orientation.
• Check wiring: Verify that the tilt sensor harness is intact and properly connected to the main PCB.
• Replace tilt sensor: If F2 persists and the unit is level, replace the tilt / anti-tip sensor with the correct AEG part.
