Dehumidifier emits a burning or electrical smell.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the unit if you smell burning or see smoke. Do not continue to operate it.

• Visual inspection: After the unit cools, remove covers and inspect for burnt wires, melted connectors, or scorched PCB areas.
• Check fan and compressor: Look for discoloration or melted insulation near the fan motor and compressor terminals.
• Do not bypass safety devices: If a component is overheating, do not attempt to bypass thermal fuses or overloads.
• Replace damaged parts: Replace any burned wiring harnesses, connectors, or components. If the PCB is burned, replace the entire board.
• Consider professional service: Because fire risk is involved, this type of fault is best handled by a qualified technician.
