Possible Causes
Room size exceeds unit capacity, Excessive moisture load (water intrusion, open windows), Dirty filter reducing efficiency, Low refrigerant charge
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps to improve performance:
- Match capacity to room: Verify the pint-per-day rating of your GE dehumidifier is appropriate for the room size and moisture level.
- Control moisture sources: Fix leaks, cover open water sources, and close windows and doors.
- Clean filter and coils: Wash the filter and vacuum dust from coils to maximize airflow.
- Check for frost or uneven cooling: If the evaporator coil is only partially cold, the sealed system may be compromised and requires professional service.
