Possible Causes

Room temperature below operating range, Ambient sensor reading too low, Unit placed near cold floor or exterior wall, Faulty ambient temperature sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Understanding LO: LO usually indicates the sensed room temperature is too low for operation.

Steps to address LO:

  • Verify room temperature: Use a separate thermometer. If the room is below about 65°F (18°C), move the unit to a warmer location.
  • Relocate unit: Avoid placing the dehumidifier directly on a cold concrete floor or against an exterior wall. Elevate it on a small platform or table.
  • Check sensor placement: Ensure the ambient sensor is in the airflow, not touching cold metal surfaces.
  • Replace sensor: If the room is warm but LO persists, replace the ambient temperature sensor.
