Hello,
The water tank may be completely filled. Most dehumidifiers have a
safety switch to turn the dehumidifier off when the water tank is full.
It is usually a float inside the tank to trigger this switch and
prevent the tank from overflowing. If the tank is empty and the unit
doesn’t run, look at the inside wall against which the tank pushes to
see if there’s a switch or mechanism present. Sometimes just pushing in
the bucket a little differently will press the switch. Also, you may be
able to activate or bend the switch slightly with your finger to solve
the problem.
If the above is not the problem, check the air filter to see if it is
clogged. A clogged filter may restrict the airflow through the machine
and keep it from dehumidifying the room. Clean the filter with a
vacuum cleaner
.
If the filter is especially dirty, clean it with warm water and rinse
it repeatedly. Let the filter dry and install it in the machine.
Another
cause of the machine not dehumidifying a room if the defrosting device
was activated. This will happen if ice starts to form on the
compressor. Turn off the dehumidifier and let it sit for 30 minutes. To
prevent this from occurring, raise the temperature of the room to
hinder the formation of ice.
The the above does not solve the problem, then your dehumidifier is due for servicing. Contact the nearest service man to help fix the problem.
Take care.
