How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before adjusting or opening the unit.

  • Level the unit: Place the dehumidifier on a flat, solid surface. Adjust feet if available.
  • Check fan balance: Inspect the blower wheel for missing pieces or heavy dust buildup on one side. Clean evenly.
  • Tighten screws: Check internal brackets and panels for loose screws that can cause vibration.

If vibration persists and appears to originate from the compressor, a technician should inspect the mounts and refrigerant lines.
