Dehumidifier shows EC and stops cooling/dehumidifying

Critical safety: Refrigerant is under pressure and requires specialized tools and certification to handle. Do not attempt to open the sealed system.

• Basic checks: Clean the air filter and coils to ensure proper airflow. Poor airflow can mimic low-charge symptoms.
• Observe operation: If the compressor runs but the evaporator does not get uniformly cold and EC appears, a sealed system issue is likely.
• Look for oil stains: Oil around joints or coils can indicate a refrigerant leak.
• Do not bypass protections: Never attempt to jumper sensors or run the unit with EC active; this can damage the compressor.
• Call a professional: Contact an authorized Inventor service center or licensed refrigeration technician to check pressures, locate leaks, and recharge or replace components as needed.
