To reset the electronics of the dehumidifier, turn the OB/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit for 10 minutes. After the time has elapsed, plug the unit in and turn the ON/OFF Switch to ON. During that time out, the electronics should have reset and reverted back to the original factory settings. From there you can set them as you like.

All dehumidifiers need and have a filter, usually already installed in them. Yours may be located behind the front louvers of the unit. Remove the bucket and look just inside the bucket holder at the top, below the louvers. You should see a tab type handle. Pull that down and out. If it's dirty it can be vacuumed or if it's really dirty, wash it with warm water and mild dish washing liquid. Rinse thoroughly and allow to completely dry before reinstalling it. NEVER operate the unit without the filer in place. Doing so, can cause damage to the unit.

The problem could be a simple one that often stops an air conditioner from cooling, the filter and coils are clogged with dirt:
1 Unplug the dehumidifier, then remove and empty the water-holding tank.
2 Remove the front and back grills. You'll have to either use a putty knife and pry between the top of the grill and the cabinet body to release the catches, or use a screwdriver to unscrew the fasteners.
3 Remove the mesh filter, if your machine has one. It may be attached to the front grill or set in a track in front of the evaporator coils.
4 Clean the filter with a mixture of warm, soapy water and bleach. The bleach will kill any mold or mildew, so it won't be blown around the room when the machine is running.
5 Clean the evaporator coils, using a vacuum with brush attachment. Remove any stubborn dirt with a scrub brush and a household spray cleaner, such as Formula 409. Scrub lightly so you don't bend the fins covering the coils.
6 Inspect the fins. If they are flattened or bent, buy a fin comb at your appliance store and use it to comb up or down on the fins to straighten them.
7 Clean the condenser coils, using the vacuum and brush attachment. Again, remove any stubborn dirt with the scrub brush and spray cleaner.
8 Inspect the fins covering these coils. If they are flattened or bent, use the fin comb to straighten them.
9 Unfasten the cabinet body so you can get access to the interior parts. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws along each side of the bottom of the cabinet. Also check the control panel and the plastic drain tray that directs water into the holding tank. If any screws are holding these parts to the cabinet, remove them.
10 Remove the cabinet body. Grab each side, pull out slightly and then lift the body off the unit.
11 Clean the fan blade and the other parts inside the cabinet, using the vacuum and crevice attachment.
12 Reassemble the dehumidifier, reinstall the water-holding tank and plug in the unit.
