What to do if my DanVex Dehumidifier does not start but the display is highlighted?
- BBrooke JohnsonAug 11, 2025
If your DanVex Dehumidifier's display is lit but the unit doesn't start, there are several potential causes. It could be due to a high humidity setting; try reducing the humidity settings. The tank might be full or missing; ensure it's empty and properly installed. After a power outage, the compressor might be delaying its start for 3 minutes. Freezing of the heat exchanger may also be the issue, so check the display for a message and wait for defrosting. A defective humidity sensor or a malfunctioning fan motor could also be the reason; check the display for errors and verify the fan's rotation.
