    What to do if Aprilaire 1710A Dehumidifier does not turn on?

      Aimee AndersonJul 30, 2025
      If your Aprilaire Dehumidifier isn't turning on, there are several things to check: * Ensure the dehumidifier is properly plugged in. * Make sure the power switch on the dehumidifier is turned ON. * Confirm that the control knob is set to a dryness level number. * Check your circuit breaker to see if it has tripped, as the unit requires a minimum of 8 amps.

    Why is Aprilaire Dehumidifier producing hot air?
    • K
      Karen SantanaAug 3, 2025
      The air is reheated across the condenser coil, which causes the temperature to rise between the inlet and outlet.

    Why is Aprilaire 1710A blower running but compressor is not?
    • M
      Miss Brittney CollinsAug 11, 2025
      There are a couple of potential reasons why the blower is running but the compressor isn't: * **Float switch open:** If a float switch is installed, inspect the connections at the control board and empty the condensate pan. If no float switch is installed, verify the jumper is correctly placed at the float switch terminals on the control board. * **Coil frosting:** This can be due to lack of, or reduced airflow. Check and clean the filter. It can also happen if the inlet air temperature is below 60°F. In that case, use the control knob to turn down the dryness setting.

    How to improve airflow in Aprilaire 1710A?
    • J
      Justin ArmstrongAug 19, 2025
      If the dehumidifier blower is running but there's little or no airflow, the pressure drop across the filter might be too high. Check the dehumidifier's air filter and either wash or replace it.
