DeLonghi Dehumidifiers - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

The flashing pause light on your DeLonghi dehumidifier indicates that the unit is in a defrost cycle. During this time, the compressor shuts off and the fan continues to run in order to thaw any ice that may have formed on the coils. This process typically lasts for 10-15 minutes before the unit resumes normal operation. If the pause light continues to flash even after the defrost cycle is complete, it may indicate a problem with the unit's sensor or control board. In this case, it is recommended to consult the user manual or contact a professional for assistance with troubleshooting and repairs.

If the air conditioner works and is blowing out super chilled air, then the dehumidifier function should work. The function takes in warm moist air and passes it over plates which are marginally colder than the ambient air. The air condenses and drips into a collection tank, or some have drain hose for putting into a floor drain. After 8 years, it may need service and gassing up, but you may also have drier air than you think. Whether is works in AC Mode is the key.

The hose is supposed to be in the tank. Someone emptied the tank and forgot to put the hose back.

I got mine fixed tonight! It was not that easy but can be done.
After my last post, I called the customer service of DeLonghi. The agent can only refer me to the authorized repair shops but she does not know what “E3” meant. There is no shop in NJ where I live, and the closest one is in CT! One of the two shops there knows right away the E3 is the fault of a condenser sensor. He mailed me the part ($25) and I took the covers off (be very careful to record where the screws are from ---- they are not all the same size/shape, and also there are two small tabs on the top holding two cover pieces together, so don’t force it to open or you will break it). There is only one part looks like the same as the replacement part I newly obtained and it has a metal clip attached on the copper coils. Carefully replace the sensor on the coil as you find previously and plug the other end to the control board. It sounds lengthy but once you open the cover it will all become clear to you. Be patient and this can be done. Very glad to see/hear it is working now again!

p.s., the store first mailed me the wrong part (on the plug-in end it has two ridges rather than one) so I have to call them again to explain and they mailed me a different one with a single ridge. Apparently there are two types (old and new model) for this model.

Some dehumidifiers have provisions for connection of an ordinary garden hose to drain into a tub, a standpipe, or a sump pit.

Not sure. Might have a blown fuse or bad capacitor. Here are some DIY steps: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/606569/Delonghi-Dehumidifier.html?page=7#manual https://www.hunker.com/13408722/delonghi-dehumidifier-troubleshooting https://www.veranda-interiors.com/dehumidifier-runs-but-wont-collect-water https://www.delonghi.com/en-us/customer-service

The E3 Code, indicates that the air intake filter needs to be removed and cleaned. Be sure the unit is OFF and unplugged before removing the filter. Filter cleaning should be performed at least once every two weeks, as part of Routine Maintenance.

all this info is in the manual. Either you threw it away or are a person who does not like to read.

The tank may be full. Your dehumidifier has a safety device that turns off the dehumidifier when the water tank is full. Usually the tank itself either presses against a switch or there's a device connected to the tank that triggers a switch when the tank is in place and full.

If you've emptied the tank and the unit doesn't run, inspect the place where the tank rests to see if there's a switch or mechanism that's not being activated. You may be able to turn it on with a simple flick of your finger.

Usually happens when the float valve is stuck in the down or up position try wiggling the handle to release or if the collection bucket is not sitting perfectly on the safety switch has to be down square I have the delonghi dem10 model always empty and unplug before checking

Dear Heemin, From the wording which you have used, it appears you think you are talking to the DeLonghi company. You are not. You are speaking to "fixya:". Please contact DeLonghi or one of it's dealers by finding their access information on your computer's search engine. God bless your efforts.

Are you worried as to why there is no Water in the Water Tank/Bucket at all? Well, a few operational basics must be understood by you please. For the unit to remove moisture from the air and draw water into the bucket/tank, the set relative humidity (%RH) must be below the current or ambient room relative humidity. Attempt to lower or reduce the setting you have to a lower value and it should start collecting water in the tank. Hope this helps

Did you punch out (or cut) the plug that the hose connects to? If not, its blocking the water from draining to the hose. Please rate 4 stars if this is helpful. Thanks and good luck!

It's basically an air conditioner so if the fan is running---the condenser not plugged up via rats nest---lint----the float switch working---if possible tip over switch working----the system maybe low on refrigerant

The normal operating temperature is above 65 F. Much below unless specially designed for low temperature they will freeze up. They have a frost detector and will defrost but it is very inefficient and not practical. My experience they eventually form a block of ice on the coils. They heat the room in the process so in a moderate area they can raise the temperature and provide needed circulation. In the past where the temperature is cool I have faced the output into a corner, raised it off the floor and once the unit got started the heat created from the unit kept the air warm enough to avoid freezing up the coils. Always check for recalls. Some models have had problems and have been recalled. See the link below. Gree Reannounces Dehumidifier Recall Due to Serious Fire and Burn Hazards... Hope this has helped?

if your unit is old enough to "not" have a gfci on the plug that goes in wall then im not aware it has any fuse inside it that could go bad , instead these rely on the homes proper electrical ckts to provide fuse/breaker functions that keep a fire from resulting if appliance overloads , now as for reasons of overloads these are many ! can be anything from water in the wrong place to a damaged motor inside

ck your water pump and hoses , the light is telling you it has sensed a problem
