What to do if my Royal Sovereign Dehumidifier does not start?
- J
  Jessica HamiltonAug 10, 2025
  If your Royal Sovereign Dehumidifier isn't starting, there are several potential causes: * **Unplugged:** Ensure the dehumidifier's plug is completely pushed into the outlet. * **Blown fuse/tripped breaker:** Check your house's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. * **Reached present level/bucket full:** The dehumidifier automatically turns off under these conditions. Either select a lower setting or empty the water bucket and replace it correctly. * **Improper bucket position:** The bucket must be correctly placed and securely seated for operation. * **Power Failure:** There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to protect the compressor. The unit may not start normal dehumidifying for 3 minutes after being powered back on.

  If your Royal Sovereign Dehumidifier isn't drying the air effectively, consider these factors: * **Insufficient time:** Allow at least 24 hours for the unit to reach the desired dryness, especially after initial setup. * **Restricted airflow:** Ensure curtains, blinds, or furniture aren't blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier. * **Incorrect humidity setting:** Lower the desired humidity percentage by pressing the “ ” button or set the dehumidifier to “ ” for maximum dehumidifying. * **Open doors/windows:** Verify that all doors, windows, and other openings are securely closed. * **Low room temperature:** Moisture removal is most effective at higher room temperatures. This model is designed to operate above 5°C (41°F); lower temperatures reduce its effectiveness.
