Possible Causes

Clogged air filter, iced-up evaporator coil, low refrigerant charge, failed compressor, stuck expansion device

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

  • Check operating conditions: Ensure room temperature and humidity are within Devola's specified operating range. Very low temperatures reduce performance.
  • Clean filter and coils: Wash the air filter and gently vacuum dust from the evaporator and condenser coils.
  • Inspect for icing: Run the unit for 30–60 minutes and then check the evaporator. If it is a solid block of ice, airflow or refrigerant issues are likely.
  • Compressor check: Listen for the compressor starting (a low humming) and feel for warmth on the condenser coil. If the compressor never starts, suspect a compressor or control fault.
  • Professional service: If cleaning and basic checks do not restore water collection, a sealed system problem (low refrigerant, restriction, or compressor failure) is likely and requires a refrigeration technician.
