  Your Home Dehumidifier might not be starting due to several reasons: it may be unplugged (ensure it's fully plugged into the outlet), the fuse might be blown or the circuit breaker tripped (check and replace/reset), the dehumidifier has reached its set level or the bucket is full (change to a lower setting and empty the bucket), the bucket isn't properly positioned (ensure it's securely in place), or there was a power failure (allow up to 3 minutes for the compressor to reset).

How to improve drying performance of Home HME020279N Dehumidifier?

  Mrs. Lauren RobersonAug 7, 2025
  If your Home Dehumidifier isn't drying the air effectively, consider these points: allow at least 24 hours for initial moisture removal after setup. Ensure no obstructions like curtains or furniture block airflow to the unit's front or back. Clean the filter. Adjust the Humidity Control to a lower setting for drier air or set to continuous operation. Confirm doors and windows are tightly closed. Relocate the dehumidifier away from the clothes dryer, ensuring the dryer vents outside. Note that moisture removal is most effective at temperatures above 41°F.

  Your Home Dehumidifier might be running for extended periods because the area is too large for its capacity, or doors and windows are open. Ensure the room size is appropriate for the dehumidifier and close all doors and windows.

  If your Home Dehumidifier pump fails, make sure that you installed the pump drainage kit before starting pump function and that you are using the original pipe. Also check that the drain cover is tightened and the rubber washer is installed in cover. Check the connection of pipe and drain cover and ensure that drain hose is not blocked or longer than 16.4 feet.

  Fan noise from your Home Dehumidifier is normal as air passes through the appliance. However, if the noise seems excessive, check if the drain connection is aging or loose. Replace the drain connection parts if needed, and ensure both the drain connection and the appliance are placed level.
