Panasonic Restricted Airflow / Fan Performance Issue

Dehumidifier fan runs but airflow is very weak from the front grille.

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

Clogged air filter, Blocked intake or exhaust, Fan wheel loose on shaft, Fan motor running at reduced speed

Safety first: Unplug before servicing.

Clean and clear: Wash the filter and ensure nothing blocks the intake or exhaust grilles.
Inspect blower: Access the blower wheel and confirm it is firmly attached to the motor shaft. Tighten or replace if cracked.
Check motor voltage: With appropriate safety precautions, verify that the fan motor is receiving correct voltage from the PCB. If voltage is correct but speed is low, replace the motor.
