Why is there a red light on my PSOS PS-01SG dehumidifier and why has it stopped collecting water even after cleaning the vents?

Based on the PSOS PS-01SG user manual, a red light typically indicates that the unit has automatically shut off because the water tank is full or not properly positioned.Please try the following steps to resolve the issue:Check the Water Tank: Even if it doesn't look full, remove the 120 OZ water tank, empty any collected water, and reinsert it carefully. Ensure it "clicks" into place; the unit will not operate or collect water if the tank is not correctly positioned.Verify Environmental Conditions: The manual states the unit may stop collecting water if the room humidity is already low or if the temperature is below 41°F (5°C).Inspect the Float: Ensure the small float mechanism inside the water tank (which triggers the full-tank sensor) is moving freely and not stuck in the 'up' position.Power Cycle: Turn the unit off using the Power Button (⏻), unplug it for 30 seconds, and plug it back in to reset the sensors.If the red light persists after emptying and correctly reinserting the tank, there may be a sensor malfunction covered under the one-year manufacturer warranty.
