It may simply be a case that the air intake filter needs cleaning, as do the condenser coils. This is recommended maintenance, prior to using the dehumidifier for the first time each season. Also, the air temperature at floor level, may be to cool for it operate properly. Particularly, if it's below 60 degrees. the unit up off the floor and placing it on something sturdy, will help solve that issue.
After cleaning the unit, as stated above, try placing it upstairs where the temperature will be warmer and allow it to run at it's lowest humidity extraction level. That's usually 35%. If it functions properly upstairs, then you will know that it's an air temperature issue in the basement.
Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem.
