TROUBLESHOOTING

Dehumidifier does not work:

• Is dehumidifier plugged in
• Check that water tank is in the correct position
• Check that water tank is not full (empty) and that float ball is in correct position

The pipe is frozen:

• The dehumidifier has a defrosting function. The fan keeps working after the compressor stops working. This will solve the problem of a frozen pipe. When the defrosting device reaches room temperature, the dehumidifier will resume operation.

The dehumidifier ‘runs’ without dehumidifying:

(The dehumidifier will blow warmer air when it is working properly).

• Power light lights once per second when it is defrosting
• Power light lights for three seconds then goes out for one second or lights for one second then goes out means there is a fault with the humidity sensor – contact Sealey stockist.

The dehumidifier runs as soon as it is switched on:

• Check if the dehumidifier is defrosting. After defrosting the dehumidifier will restart automatically after defrosting.

Dehumidifying capacity is too weak:

• Check if filter net is blocked – clean
• dehumidifying capacity will be weaker if the temperature and humidity levels are too low
• check if air inlet is blocked – clean

Expected humidity takes a long time to be reached:

• check whether doors and windows are open
• check if anything is producing vapour
• check whether the volume of the room is too large

Dehumidifier is noisy:

• Check if surface it is placed on is smooth
