DeLonghi DE400 Dehumidifier - Page 5 Questions & Answers
I have a Delonghi DH250R dehumidifier.It make a
There are 5 basic, but solvable reasons for what you described. Please pay particular attention to numbers 1& 2..
1. The humidity extraction level is set to HIGH. Lower it to 32-35%.
2. Air intake filter is dirty or clogged. Turn unit OFF, & Unplug the
Unit, before removing to inspect & clean it, if necessary. If washed,
allow filter to completely dry before reinstalling. DO NOT operate
the unit without the filter.
3. Obstructed air flow. Maintain a minimum of 12 to 18" of clear air
space around the entire unit.
4. Cooling coils are dirty and need to be cleaned. Use warm water & dish washing liquid to
clean the coils. Rinse and wipe dry. Apply a light coating of WD40 to the coils.
5. Ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 - 60 degrees.
dehumidifiers do not work well between those temperatures
(Unless, you have a Low Temp Unit). This applies mainly to
where the air
temperature at floor level is colder than at shoulder level in basement applications. Raising the unit up off the floor,
onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight
of the unit, plus a full tank of water, will usually resolve this
problem.
If
none of the above solves the problem, it may be a case of the
compressor needs to be recharged with refrigerant gas or that the humidity condenser sensor has failed. These things usually occur in units that are
5 years old or older. It's rare in a unit younger than that. But, it
can happen.
I hope this helps you to further troubleshoot & solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

My DeLonghi Portable Dehumidifier Model
Hello,
First, make sure the reservoir is empty. If you plug the unit in and
see a green power light, but the unit won't run, make sure the
reservoir is properly inserted. Many dehumidifiers have switches or
sensors to make sure that the reservoir is placed so that it won't
leak. Look for these sensors and make sure the reservoir is engaging
them. If your dehumidifier has a float or switch to indicate a full
reservoir, make sure this switch isn't being tripped accidentally.
Good luck.

Delonghi DES14 does not collect water
clean the dust off of the condenser in the front or the filter if it has one. no air flow results in overheating and no condensation across the evaporator coil.
