Possible Causes
Blocked air intake or outlet, Failed fan motor, Dirty condenser coil, Faulty thermal protector on compressor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before inspection.
- Ensure airflow: Verify that the dehumidifier has adequate clearance on all sides and that the intake and outlet grilles are not blocked by curtains or furniture.
- Clean filter and coils: Remove and wash the air filter. Vacuum dust from the condenser coil and fan area.
- Check fan operation: Confirm that the fan runs continuously when the unit is on. If the fan stops while the compressor is running, the unit will overheat. Replace the fan motor if it is intermittent or noisy.
- Thermal protector: If the compressor stops quickly and the unit is hot, the thermal protector may be tripping due to internal compressor issues. This requires professional evaluation.
