Dehumidifier not functioning or collecting water? Here are some quick things you can think about before it is time to break out your resources. These apply to both desiccant-based systems and compressors of any size and from any manufacturer.
Moisture Levels: A dehumidifier is intended to extract and collect excess humidity from the air as required. During specific times, the air may stop collecting water since there is not enough moisture in the atmosphere. That might be because it is doing its job correctly or because of temperature fluctuation locally.
Ability: One frequent problem homeowners confront is that dehumidifiers do not collect water. It has nothing to do with component failures or humidity levels. If you don’t pick the correct size system for your house, it won’t have the ability to manage the humidity. If you’re unsure what size you need, take a look at our manual on dehumidifier capacities.
Placement: Improper placement may also affect water set from a dehumidifier. While you will have to consult your user guide, systems require enough clearance to operate properly in your dwelling. Moving a dehumidifier may substantially affect how well it works if it was not installed correctly.
Care: If you would like to make sure your system is functioning at optimal efficiency, you would want to do routine maintenance. It’s easy to overlook, but dust and clogged drains will have an impact on the water set in a dehumidifier. Ensure nothing is obstructed or blocked on your system, and change any filters required by the manufacturer.
