I just purchased my LG dehumidifer. I set it on 35. It starts. Operates for a few seconds. Then, it shuts off. Any suggestions?

The absolute lowest setting possible. Usually 35%. Also there must be at least a minimum of 12" clear air space around the entire unit for it to function properly.

I hope this helped you, Terri. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

First, tunr the unit OFF and unplug it for 10 minutes. Then plug it back in and turn it ON. It will automatically set at 70%. Press the - button and lower the humidity extraction level to 45% in increments of 5%. Once you reach 35% press and the - button one more time. Now the unit is set to run continuously, until the bucket is full and the unit turns OFF automatically or you manually turn the unit OFF. In case you have misplaced the Owner's Manual, I have included a link to it, that you can download and print. http://aic.lgservice.com/gcsc/dwn/main

Hi,
There are many reasons why a dehumidifier willnot work or collect water.
Here is a tip that I wrote to help people to figure out what is going wrongwith their dehumidifier

Try lowering to humidity extraction level to 35%. If you have a manually controlled unit, set the knob on Maximum.

Hi,

What is the proper setting. My unit saids On and 35 to70 Humidity according to the unit is 65 This is a LG.

I would first check the drain bucket the auto shut off may still be stuck or broken. I have run across this times before.

MOst likely the room the dehumidifier is operating is is too cold for proper dehumidification to take place. Try warming up the room and I believe then your dehumidifier will work fine.

Well your dehumidifer runs constantly. My guess seeing how you bought a 30 pint per 24 hrs. Your house better be 400sqft. It is under sized and humidity need to be 30/50 percent to stop mold growth. It cant keep up its two small 50 pint are for 1000sqft 65 pint is 1300sqft. Upgrade now!!!!!

have you turned them off, waited a long time, and restarted? if yes, but still problem, both have developed freon leaks. the coils may have "frozen over", verified by looking at them-do they appear frosty? caused by humidistats that are not functioning properly (starting to corrode)...try turning down the stats to allow motors to rest (and frost to melt)
