Possible Causes

Blocked air intake or exhaust, Dirty condenser coil, Failed fan motor causing poor cooling, Faulty temperature sensor on condenser or PCB overheat, Main PCB overheating due to dust or poor ventilation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before touching internal components.

  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the dehumidifier has at least several inches of clearance on all sides. Do not place it in a confined closet or against walls.
  • Clean air filter: Remove and wash the air filter. Let it dry completely before reinstalling.
  • Clean condenser coil: Access the warm condenser coil and use a vacuum or soft brush to remove dust and lint from the fins.
  • Verify fan operation: Turn the unit on and confirm that the fan runs at full speed. If the fan is slow or not running, see fan motor fault entries.
  • Check for heat sources: Avoid placing the unit near heaters, direct sunlight, or other appliances that blow hot air onto it.
  • Persistent P4: If P4 continues after cleaning and ensuring good airflow, a temperature sensor or the main PCB may be faulty. These components may need to be tested and replaced by a technician.
