To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Santa Fe COMPACT70 have low dehumidification capacity?
If your Santa Fe Dehumidifier has low dehumidification capacity and the evaporator is frosted continuously, replace the defective defrost thermostat. Also, check for a low refrigerant charge. Clean or replace dirty air filter(s) or address air flow restriction. Inspect for excessively restrictive ducting connected to the unit.
Why does my Santa Fe Dehumidifier compressor cycle on and off?
If the compressor cycles on and off while dehumidification is active for your Santa Fe Dehumidifier, it could be due to low ambient temperature or humidity, causing the unit to cycle through defrost mode. Other potential causes include a defective compressor overload, compressor, or defrost thermostat. Make sure to clean or replace dirty air filters, and address any airflow restrictions. Also, the fan or relay may be defective and need replacement.
What to do if Santa Fe Dehumidifier is not removing enough water?
If your Santa Fe Dehumidifier isn't removing as much water as expected, it could be due to a drop in air temperature or humidity. You might need to calibrate or replace the humidity meter or thermometer. Also, determine if the unit has entered a defrost cycle. Check and clean or replace dirty air filters, and address any air flow restrictions. Other things to look for: a defective defrost thermostat, low refrigerant charge, air leaks, a defective compressor, and restrictive ducting.
What to do if Santa Fe COMPACT70 fan is not running?
If the fan isn't running on your Santa Fe Dehumidifier when dehumidification or fan operation is active, check for a loose connection in the fan circuit. Also, remove any obstruction preventing the fan impeller from rotating. If those aren't the issue, the fan or fan relay may be defective and need to be replaced.
What to do if Santa Fe COMPACT70 compressor is not running?
If the compressor isn't running on your Santa Fe Dehumidifier, but the fan is, and dehumidification is active, try the following: replace the defective compressor run capacitor, check for loose connections in the compressor circuit, replace the defective compressor overload, replace the defective compressor, and replace the defrost thermostat if it is open.
