  If your Quest Engineering Dehumidifier's air mover is running but the compressor isn't, start by checking the connection in the compressor circuit. Also, inspect the pump reservoir for the safety float switch. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the compressor capacitor or overload might be defective, requiring replacement. In some cases, the compressor itself or the control board could be defective and need replacing.

  If your Quest Engineering Dehumidifier isn't turning on and there's no display or compressor activity, first, check that the unit is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. If the outlet is working, inspect the internal wiring for any loose connections and tighten them. If the issue persists, the control board might be defective and require replacement.

Why is my Quest Engineering PowerDry 1300 Dehumidifier not removing enough water?

  If your Quest Engineering Dehumidifier isn't removing as much water as it should, start by checking the air temperature and humidity levels in the room. Ensure that your humidity meter and thermometer are properly calibrated. Also, check if the unit is in defrost cycle and wait for it to complete. A dirty air filter can also reduce efficiency, so clean or replace it. Other potential causes include a defective defrost thermistor, low refrigerant charge, a defective compressor, or restrictions in the exhaust ducting.

What causes a Quest Engineering Dehumidifier evaporator coil to frost continuously?

  If the evaporator coil in your Quest Engineering Dehumidifier is continuously frosted and the dehumidifying capacity is low, check the defrost thermistor to ensure it's properly connected and functioning. Also, verify the refrigerant levels and recharge if low. A dirty air filter or restricted airflow can also cause this issue, so clean or replace the filter. Finally, make sure that the front housing is properly sealed to the lower housing.

  If the compressor on your Quest Engineering Dehumidifier runs even when the POWER button is OFF, there may be a defective relay. In this case, replace the relay. Alternatively, the control board might be defective, requiring replacement.
