Possible Causes

Room temperature below operating range, Faulty ambient temperature sensor reading too low, Unit placed near cold draft or unheated space

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: LO is usually a protective indication, not a hardware failure.

Steps:

  • Check room temperature: Verify the room is above the minimum operating temperature (typically 41°F / 5°C). Move the unit to a warmer area if necessary.
  • Avoid cold drafts: Do not place the dehumidifier directly on cold concrete or near open windows in winter.
  • Sensor check: If the room is warm but LO still shows, inspect the ambient temperature sensor and its wiring as described under E1. Replace if defective.
