Your dehumidifier may be failing for a number of reasons such as a clogged air filter, dirty coils, or improper installation. Springtime is the perfect season to check and clean your dehumidifier, ensuring that it’s ready for the shift in humidity levels.
Low temperatures, insufficient airflow, or dirty coils can cause freezing. If your dehumidifier is icing up during cool spring mornings, consider adjusting your thermostat or call (954) 280-5597 to have an expert inspect your system.
Loud noises from your dehumidifier may signal a mechanical or motor problem. Address these sounds with our team right away to prevent further damage, as spring moisture can place extra demand on your unit.
As you’re likely well aware, your dehumidifier serves a vital function in your household’s ecosystem. So, when there is a problem with it, you may start to experience some noticeable changes such as high humidity, poor ventilation, or even mold. That is exactly why it is so important to ensure your dehumidifier is running at full capacity. Here are a few signs that your system may be in need of a repair from our team:
If your dehumidifier constantly runs, it will end up collecting more moisture than it can handle. Root issues for this could include a defective humidity sensor, insufficient capacity, or a problem with the unit’s electronic system.
Your dehumidifier will struggle to function properly if it begins collecting frost. Components that often frost include the compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil, and the fan motor. If you spot frost on any part of your dehumidifier, call us as soon as possible to schedule a prompt repair.
A dehumidifier that leaks water is counter productive to the purpose of a dehumidifier to begin with! If you notice that your unit is leaking water, it needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent water damage or mold. A leaking dehumidifier usually indicates a problem with the collection bucket or the drain hose.
Your dehumidifier should run quietly in the background of your home. Any banging or rattling sounds are likely in need of a repair. Failure to address these issues can lead to much larger problems down the road.
The primary function of your home’s dehumidifier is to collect water. If your dehumidifier is not collecting water, a repair is necessary. When your dehumidifier fails to collect water, it’s usually due to an issue with the drain hose.
There are a variety of issues that could be at play if your dehumidifier will not stay on. Components that could be causing the issue include the compressor, electronic control board, or the evaporator thermistor. Be sure to call in our experts as soon as possible to schedule service!
