7. Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer support, please refer to the following troubleshooting guide for common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dehumidifier does not turn on. | No power supply. Power cord not securely plugged in. |
Check if the power outlet is working. Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the unit and the wall outlet. |
| Unit is running but not collecting water. | Room humidity is already low. Temperature is too low. Airflow is blocked. |
Check the current humidity level on the display. If it's below your set point, the unit will not collect water. Dehumidifiers are less effective in very cold environments. Ensure air inlet and outlet are not obstructed. |
| Unit stops operating and indicator light is on. | Water tank is full. Water tank is not properly inserted. |
Empty the water tank. Reinsert the water tank correctly until it clicks into place. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Unit is not on a level surface. Internal component issue. |
Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface. If noise persists, discontinue use and contact customer support. |
