What to do if Ideal Air Dehumidifier does not dry air properly?
- J
  Jessica GriffithAug 4, 2025
  If your Ideal Air Dehumidifier isn't drying the air effectively, consider these possible causes: The room air may already be dry, or the temperature might be too low (this unit is designed for temperatures above 41 °F). Check the room humidity with a hygrometer and increase the room temperature if necessary. Airflow could be restricted by curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the unit. Ensure all doors, windows, and other openings are securely closed to prevent moisture from re-entering the room. A malfunctioning fan motor or a clogged air filter can also reduce dehumidifying performance, so check and address these issues accordingly.

Why Ideal Air Dehumidifier not starting?

  If your Ideal Air Dehumidifier isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the unit is receiving power from the outlet. A blown PCB or fuse could also be the culprit, requiring a check and potential replacement. Poor plug contact might be the issue; try re-inserting the plug or replacing the outlet. Inspect for any disconnected or loose wires, consulting the circuit diagram for terminal identification and repairing or replacing as necessary. Lastly, a capacitor failure could be the reason. Test the capacitor and replace it if it's not within ±10% of the manufacturer's rating or if it's shorted, open, or damaged.

Why Ideal Air Dehumidifier fan runs but compressor doesn't?

  Mr. Benjamin ConwayAug 17, 2025
  If the fan motor runs but the compressor doesn't in your Ideal Air Dehumidifier, there are several potential causes: a wiring problem, which requires checking, repairing, or replacing any loose or disconnected wires, referring to the wiring diagram for correct connections; a faulty capacitor, which should be checked and replaced if it's not within ±10% of its rating or is damaged; a compressor issue, which needs to be checked for open circuits or grounding, potentially requiring replacement; or a failed overload protector (O.L.P.), which should be checked and replaced if open, after cooling down the compressor if it's too hot.
