Pure Enrichment dehumidifier or humidifier trips the circuit breaker or GFCI outlet when turned on.

Safety: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips. Unplug the appliance immediately. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

• Inspect cord and plug: Look for cuts, crushed sections, or burn marks on the power cord and plug. If damaged, the cord must be replaced by a qualified technician.
• Check for moisture: Examine the base and control area for signs of water leaks or condensation. Allow the unit to dry completely for at least 24–48 hours in a warm, dry place.
• Try a different outlet: After drying, test the unit on a different circuit (non-GFCI) only if you are confident there is no water inside. If it still trips, internal components are likely shorted.
• Internal inspection: If you are qualified, open the housing (unplugged) and look for burned components or charred PCB traces. Do not operate the unit if any damage is visible.
• Professional repair or replacement: Electrical shorts often require replacement of major components (compressor, motor, PCB). For safety, consider professional service or replacing the unit.
