Dehumidifier runs continuously and never reaches the set humidity

Safety first: Normal operation may include long run times in very humid conditions; ensure adequate ventilation.

Steps to improve control:

• Verify humidity: Use an external hygrometer to compare actual humidity with the unit's display.
• Adjust setpoint: Set the target humidity to around 45–50% instead of very low values like 30%.
• Seal the space: Close windows and doors and reduce sources of moisture.
• Check sensor: If the display reading is clearly wrong, the humidity sensor may need cleaning or replacement.
