Possible Causes

Humidity sensor too close to exhaust air, Sensor contaminated with dust, Incorrect humidity setpoint understanding, Faulty humidity sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before opening the cabinet to access sensors.

  • Verify setpoint: Ensure the desired humidity is set correctly (e.g., 45–50% for comfort). Remember that readings may fluctuate a few percent.
  • Relocate unit: Move the dehumidifier away from corners and direct airflow obstructions so the sensor samples room air, not just exhaust air.
  • Clean sensor: Gently clean the humidity sensor area with compressed air or a soft brush.
  • External comparison: Use a separate hygrometer to verify actual room humidity. If the unit’s reading is far off, replace the humidity sensor module.
