6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your CA-706 Smart, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | No power, water tank full or improperly inserted. | Check power cord connection. Empty and reinsert water tank correctly. |
| Dehumidification is weak. | Dirty filters, room too large, low ambient temperature. | Clean or replace filters. Ensure unit is in an appropriately sized room. Dehumidifiers are less effective in very cold conditions. |
| Unit is noisy. | Unstable surface, fan obstruction, normal operating sound. | Place on a stable, level surface. Check for any obstructions in the fan area. Some noise is normal during operation. |
| App connectivity issues. | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (only 2.4 GHz supported), network issues. | Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. Restart your router and the dehumidifier. Re-pair the device with the app. |
