How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the Cecotec dehumidifier before any internal inspection. Do not tamper with sealed refrigeration components.
Steps:
- Reset: Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and test. EC can sometimes be cleared by a full reset.
- Clean coils and filter: Remove and wash the air filter. Vacuum dust from evaporator and condenser coils to restore proper heat exchange.
- Check ambient conditions: Ensure the unit is used within the specified temperature range and not in a confined space.
- Sensor inspection: Inspect all accessible NTC sensors and wiring for damage or loose connections. Reseat connectors.
- Professional service: If EC persists, the unit may require sensor calibration or sealed-system work, which must be performed by an authorized Cecotec service technician.
