Unit runs but room humidity does not decrease to setpoint

Safety: No internal electrical work is required for basic checks.

Steps:

• 1. Verify capacity: Compare the Ebac model's rated extraction (litres/day) to the room size and moisture load. A small unit may not handle a large, damp basement.
• 2. Reduce moisture sources: Fix leaks, improve drainage, and cover open water sources. Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
• 3. Seal the space: Close windows and doors while the dehumidifier is running. Seal obvious air leaks.
• 4. Check sensor accuracy: Compare the unit's humidity reading with a separate hygrometer. If the unit reads significantly lower than actual, the humidity sensor may need replacement.
• 5. Relocate unit: Place the dehumidifier centrally with good airflow, away from corners and obstructions.
