Ice forms on coils
The dehumidifier features an automatic defrost mode that will
■
shut off the compressor and allow the fan to run. This reduces
the ice buildup on the coils. The compressor will cycle back
on when the defrost sensor senses the correct operating
conditions.
The temperature of the room is too cold. Raise the room
■
temperature or move the dehumidifier to a warmer location.
Fan runs but dehumidifier is not
removing moisture
The dehumidifier features an automatic defrost mode that will
■
shut off the compressor and allow the fan to run. This reduces
the ice build-up on the coils. The compressor will cycle back
on when the defrost sensor senses the correct operating
conditions.
The filter is dirty. Clean the filter.

Error codes in display
If E1 or E2 appears in the display, call for service.
■
If LO appears in the display, the temperature in the room is too
■
cold. Increase the room temperature or move the dehumidifier.

dehumidifier.
Normal Operating Sounds
When your dehumidifier is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:
Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or
■
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
Air movement from the fan.
■
Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
■
Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
■
A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern
■
high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
