Possible Causes

Room size exceeds unit capacity, Air leaks into room, Dirty coils reducing efficiency, Faulty humidity sensor reading too high

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Check capacity: Confirm the TaoTronics dehumidifier's pint/day rating is appropriate for the room size and moisture load.
  • Seal room: Close windows and doors. Reduce sources of moisture (e.g., open water, unvented dryers).
  • Clean filter and coils: Ensure maximum airflow by cleaning the filter and coils.
  • Verify humidity readings: Compare with an external hygrometer. If the unit reads much higher than actual, replace the humidity sensor module.
