The Error Code 01, indicates that the air intake filter needs to be removed and cleaned.

The problem lies with the water tubing the drains water into the bucket being clogged. To solve the problem do the following:

First turn the unit OFF & unplug it.

Remove the water collection bucket and look up inside the bucket holder cavity. You will see either a drain hole or small tubing that drains the water into the bucket. Using an appropriately sized, 18" long, plastic Zip Tie, carefully insert the tip of Zip Tie into the hole or tubing. Continue to push it in until you reach a bend in the tubing. You will need to gingerly work the Zip Tie past this bend, until it either bottoms out or you run out of usable Zip Tie. Then slowly pull the Zip Tie back out while rotating (twisting) it. This will breakup any clogs. As you reach the inserted end of the Zip Tie, be prepared, as some water may follow. Reinstall the bucket, plug the unit in and turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to ON. Set the humidity extraction level to 35% or Maximum if you have a manually controlled unit. Allow the unit to run, while you monitor it for any leakage.

NOTE: If you don't have a Zip Tie, you may use something similar ( i.e.a long pipe cleaner), but NO wire coat hangers.

It is defective. The coils are not getting cold enough to condense water in the air.-------First, make sure the humidistat isn't set too high by adjusting it to the lowest humidity setting and running it again.
----------

Next, test the dehumidifier by placing it in a closed bathroom with a hot shower running. If you don't see water collecting in the unit after several minutes, turn the unit off and clean all dehumidifier filters and coils. If, after adjusting the settings and cleaning the unit, you still don't see water collecting, you may have a refrigeration issue. ----------- The refrigerant is got low and that needs to be recharged.For that compressor needs to be inspected.Compressor is a sealed unit.If the refrigerant got leaked form compressor then it has to be resealed.If the leak is minor , it can be sealed, but if the leak is major, then it cannot be sealed.----- This can be checked by local dehumidifier or AC repair tech or at local HVAC repair tech center.-------- But first try cleaning the filter and coil and see if that makes any different.Turn the unit off and clean filters/ coils by soft brush.------- getting this possibilities checked will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

If the bucket is in place correctly, turn the unit OFF & unplug it for 10 minutes. This should allow the electronics to rest and revert back to the original factory setting after you plug it back in and turn it ON. From there you should be able reset the controls to your liking.
