  Your EdgeStar dehumidifier may not be functioning because it is not receiving power. Ensure that the unit is properly plugged in. Another reason could be insufficient power; try moving the unit to another outlet and check your circuit breaker. The water bucket being full or not properly positioned can also cause this issue; drain the bucket and reinsert it correctly. If no indicator lights turn on, it may indicate a control panel malfunction, in which case you should contact customer service.

What to do if my EdgeStar DEP501WP does not dry the air?

  If your EdgeStar dehumidifier isn't drying the air, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure you're running the unit long enough. Check that the air intake or exhaust vents aren't blocked by anything like towels, curtains, or furniture. Make sure the humidity control is set low enough. Also, close any open windows or doors. The room temperature might be too low (below 41°F), so try increasing it. Finally, remove any devices producing water vapor, such as a kerosene heater.

  If your EdgeStar dehumidifier is making a loud noise, the air filter might be clogged, so try cleaning it. Another cause could be a foreign object jammed in the fan; in this case, shut off the unit and remove the object. Also, check if the floor below the unit is uneven and move the unit to a level surface.

  If your EdgeStar dehumidifier is making a continuous metallic knocking or pinging sound, it may have been shipped on its side. Shut off the unit and let it sit on a level surface for at least 24 hours before restarting it. If the sound persists, the compressor may be damaged, and you should contact customer service.
