Possible Causes

Compressor thermal overload protection, Built-in anti-short-cycle timer, High ambient temperature causing temporary shutdown

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Verify normal behavior: Many Olimpia Splendid dehumidifiers include a delay between compressor cycles to protect the compressor. Short stops of 3–5 minutes can be normal.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate space around the unit and clean the coils and filter to reduce operating temperature.
  • Monitor pattern: If the unit runs only a few minutes and then stops for a long time while the room remains humid, further diagnosis of overheating or refrigerant issues may be needed.
