Possible Causes
Room size exceeds unit capacity, Open windows or doors letting in humid air, Hidden moisture sources (wet walls, leaks), Faulty humidity sensor under-reading humidity
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps:
- Seal the room: Close windows and doors while operating the dehumidifier. Reduce other moisture sources (e.g., boiling water, drying clothes indoors).
- Check capacity: Compare the unit's rated liters/day to the room size and humidity load. A small unit may not be able to handle a large basement.
- Inspect for leaks: Look for water intrusion, damp walls, or plumbing leaks that continuously add moisture.
- Sensor check: If the display shows much lower humidity than an external hygrometer, replace the humidity sensor assembly.
