Dehumidifier runs but collects very little or no water even in humid conditions.

Safety: Unplug before cleaning or inspecting internal components.

Steps:

• Filter and coil cleaning: Clean the air filter. Inspect and gently clean the evaporator and condenser coils with a soft brush or vacuum.
• Room conditions: Ensure doors and windows are closed and the room size is within the unit's rated capacity.
• Humidity setting: Set the target humidity lower (e.g., 40–50%) to force continuous operation.
• Check for icing: If the evaporator ices up quickly, there may be a refrigerant or airflow issue requiring a technician.
• Sensor calibration: If the unit cycles off while the room is still humid, the humidity sensor may be misreading and should be replaced.
