Possible Causes

Very damp room or water intrusion, Humidity setpoint too low, Continuous mode enabled, Humidity sensor reading too high

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before accessing internal sensors.

  • Check environment: Inspect the room for water leaks, wet concrete, or other moisture sources. Address building moisture problems where possible.
  • Adjust settings: Raise the humidity setpoint to a moderate level (e.g., 50–55%) or disable continuous mode if not needed.
  • Use continuous drain: If available, connect a drain hose to the continuous drain outlet and route it to a floor drain to avoid frequent bucket emptying.
  • Verify sensor accuracy: Compare the unit's humidity reading with an external hygrometer. If the unit reads much higher, the humidity sensor module may be over-reading and causing excessive run time; replace if necessary.
