Honeywell Ineffective Moisture Removal

Dehumidifier operates but blows warm, humid air; room feels hotter and not drier.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Air bypass around evaporator coil, Internal ducting displaced, Severely dirty coils, Refrigerant system fault

Safety: Unplug before opening the cabinet.

Steps:

Inspect airflow path: Ensure internal foam baffles and ducting are in place so air passes through the evaporator then condenser, not bypassing the coil.
Clean coils: Thoroughly clean both evaporator and condenser coils.
Check for panel gaps: Reassemble the cabinet carefully so there are no large gaps that allow air to short‑circuit around the coils.

Note: If the coils are clean and airflow is correct but humidity is not reduced, a sealed system issue is likely.
