Why is my Santa Fe Compact 2 Dehumidifier not removing enough water?
- J
  Jeff PerryJul 27, 2025
  If your Santa Fe Dehumidifier isn't removing as much water as you expect, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the ambient air temperature and humidity levels, as a drop in either can reduce water removal. Ensure that your humidity meter and thermometer are properly calibrated. The unit may also be in a defrost cycle, so allow it to complete. Other potential causes include dirty air filters restricting airflow (clean or replace them), a defective defrost thermostat (test its functionality), a low refrigerant charge (check and replenish), air leaks (inspect for and seal them), a defective compressor (replace it), or restrictive ducting (inspect and modify).

Why is my Santa Fe Compact 2 Dehumidifier evaporator frosted and dehumidifying poorly?
- A
  Alisha WilsonJul 31, 2025
  If your Santa Fe Dehumidifier has low dehumidification capacity and the evaporator is continuously frosted, it could be due to a few reasons. The defrost thermostat might be loose or defective, so inspect, tighten, or replace it. Another potential cause is a low refrigerant charge, which requires checking and replenishing. Dirty air filters or restricted airflow can also lead to this issue, so clean or replace the filters. Finally, excessively restrictive ducting connected to the unit could be the problem; inspect and modify the ducting to improve airflow.

What to do if the Santa Fe Compact 2 fan and compressor are not running?
- D
  Dylan GonzalezAug 6, 2025
  If neither the fan nor the compressor is running on your Santa Fe Dehumidifier, and dehumidification is needed, start by checking if the unit is properly plugged in and that the outlet has power. Also, verify that the humidity control isn't set too high. Inspect the internal and control wiring for any loose connections. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the compressor relay might be defective and require testing.

Why does my Santa Fe Compact 2 Dehumidifier compressor keep cycling on and off?
- M
  michael76Aug 10, 2025
  If the compressor on your Santa Fe Dehumidifier cycles on and off while dehumidification is active, several factors could be responsible. Low ambient temperature or humidity might cause the unit to cycle through defrost mode; monitor these conditions. Other potential causes include a defective compressor overload (test it), a defective compressor (replace it), a defective defrost thermostat (test its functionality), dirty air filters restricting airflow (clean or replace them), or a defective fan or relay (test them).

What to do if Santa Fe Compact 2 compressor is not running but the fan is?
- D
  Derek BarnettAug 16, 2025
  If the compressor isn't running on your Santa Fe Dehumidifier, but the fan is, and dehumidification is needed, it could be due to a defective compressor run capacitor (replace it). Check for loose connections in the compressor circuit. Other potential causes include a defective compressor overload (test it), a defective compressor (replace it), or an open defrost thermostat (inspect it).
