  If your Danby Portable dehumidifier isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the dehumidifier is properly plugged into the outlet. Check your house fuse or circuit breaker and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if needed. The dehumidifier might have reached its preset level or the bucket could be full; in this case, change to a lower setting or empty the bucket and replace it correctly. Ensure the bucket is securely seated for the unit to operate. Also, be aware that there is a protective time delay of up to 3 minutes to prevent tripping the compressor overload, so the unit may not start immediately after being turned back on.

How to improve drying performance of Danby DDR70B3WP?

  lmillerAug 13, 2025
  If your Danby Portable dehumidifier isn't drying the air adequately, consider these points. When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to achieve the desired dryness. Ensure no curtains, blinds, or furniture are blocking the front or back of the unit. Clean the air filter. Set the humidity control to a lower percent value for drier air. Verify that all doors, windows, and other openings are securely closed. Position the dehumidifier away from the clothes dryer, and ensure the dryer is vented to the outside. Remember that moisture removal is most effective at higher room temperatures, as lower temperatures reduce the rate of moisture removal; the dehumidifier is designed to operate above 5°C (41°F).

Why does my Danby DDR70B3WP Portable dehumidifier run constantly?
- C
  chavezscottAug 18, 2025
  If your Danby Portable dehumidifier is running excessively, it might be due to a couple of reasons. The area you're trying to dehumidify might be too large for the unit's capacity. Alternatively, open doors and windows can also cause the dehumidifier to run more than necessary. Make sure to close all doors and windows to see if that resolves the issue, and consider that the capacity of your dehumidifier may not be adequate.

What to do if there is water on the floor near my Danby Portable dehumidifier?

  If you find water on the floor near your Danby Portable dehumidifier, it could be due to a loose hose connection. Check the hose connection to ensure it's properly secured. If you're using the bucket to collect water, make sure the hose is disconnected.

Why can't I set the controls on my Danby DDR70B3WP Portable dehumidifier?

  Melissa GarciaAug 27, 2025
  If you're having trouble setting the controls on your Danby Portable dehumidifier, it might be because the compressor turns off, but the fan continues to run automatically for about 3 minutes at a fixed setting. This is normal operation. Wait approximately 3 minutes, and then you should be able to set the fan as desired.

  If you notice frost on the coils of your Danby Portable dehumidifier, especially soon after turning it on or if the room temperature is below 5°C (41°F), it's generally normal. The frost should disappear within about 60 minutes.
