Possible Causes
Room temperature below minimum operating range, Faulty ambient temperature sensor reading too low, Unit placed in unheated space (garage, shed)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal work is required for basic checks.
Steps:
- Check room temperature: Verify the ambient temperature with a separate thermometer. Most Russell Hobbs dehumidifiers require at least about 5°C to operate.
- Move the unit: If the room is too cold, move the dehumidifier to a warmer area within the specified operating range.
- Sensor check: If the room is warm but LO still shows, follow the E1 procedure to test and, if necessary, replace the ambient NTC temperature sensor.
