Possible Causes

Drifted humidity sensor, sensor blocked by dust, sensor placed too close to outlet air, main PCB calibration error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before opening the housing.

  • Verify with external hygrometer: Compare the dehumidifier reading with a separate, known-good hygrometer.
  • Clean sensor area: Locate the humidity sensor near the air inlet and gently clean dust from around it.
  • Relocate unit: Ensure the unit is not placed where warm discharge air recirculates directly into the inlet, which can skew readings.
  • Replace sensor: If readings remain far off, replace the humidity sensor module with the correct Devola part.
