What to do if Aprilaire 1710A Dehumidifier does not turn on?
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?
The air is reheated across the condenser coil, which causes the temperature to rise between the inlet and outlet.
What to do if Aprilaire 1710A is not draining properly?
If your Aprilaire Dehumidifier isn't draining correctly:* Verify that the drain trap is installed correctly.* Check the drain trap and drain line for any blockages by slowly pouring one pint of water into the dehumidifier drip pan, which is located below the coil.* Ensure the drain line has a continuous downward slope.
Why is Aprilaire 1710A blower running but compressor is not?
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 fix float switch open error in Aprilaire Dehumidifier?
To address a float switch open issue:1. Empty the condensate pan.2. Check the float switch connection at the control board.3. If you are not using a float switch, ensure the jumper is correctly placed between the float switch terminals on the dehumidifier control board.4. If the problem continues, the float switch may need to be replaced.
How to improve airflow in Aprilaire 1710A?
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.
What to do for critical fault: frost sensor failure in Aprilaire 1710A Dehumidifier?
To troubleshoot a frost sensor failure:1. Check the frost sensor connection at the control board.2. Remove the side panel and verify the temperature sensor isn't damaged, is fully inserted in the sensor well, and the well is filled with thermal paste.3. If the fault persists, contact Technical Support.
