7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your dehumidifier, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dehumidifier does not turn on. | No power supply. | Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into the unit and the wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is functional. |
| Unit is on but not collecting water. | Humidity level is too low. | The unit will only extract water if the humidity is above 40%. If the air is already dry, it will collect less or no water. |
| Red 'FULL' indicator light is on, but tank is not full. | Water tank not correctly seated. | Remove the water tank and reinsert it firmly until it clicks into place. |
| Reduced dehumidification performance. | Air inlets/outlets blocked. | Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for proper airflow. Clean any dust or debris from the vents. |
| Unit is noisy. | Unit not on a flat surface. | Place the dehumidifier on a stable, flat surface to minimize vibrations. The unit operates at a quiet 35dB. |
