How to fix a Soleus Air HCT-D70EIP-A Dehumidifier that does not start?
- W
  Willie JuarezJul 30, 2025
  If your Soleus Air Dehumidifier isn't starting, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the dehumidifier's plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Also, check your house's fuse or circuit breaker and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary. The dehumidifier might have reached its set level or the bucket could be full; in this case, adjust to a lower setting or empty the bucket and replace it correctly. Ensure the bucket is correctly positioned for the dehumidifier to operate. Lastly, after a power failure, there's a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to prevent compressor overload, so wait before normal operation begins.

Why is my Soleus Air Dehumidifier not drying the air properly?
- C
  Christopher GreerAug 3, 2025
  If your Soleus Air Dehumidifier isn't drying the air adequately, start by allowing at least 24 hours for it to reach the desired dryness after initial setup. Ensure that curtains, blinds, or furniture aren't blocking the front or back of the unit. For a dirty filter, see the CLEAN FILTER section on Page 9. Also, make sure the Humidity Control is set low enough; lower the humidity percentage or set the dehumidifier to CO for maximum dehumidification. Check that all doors, windows, and other openings are securely closed. Position the dehumidifier away from the clothes dryer, ensuring the dryer is vented outside. Remember that moisture removal is most effective at higher room temperatures, as this model is designed to operate above 41°F.

Why does my Soleus Air HCT-D70EIP-A Dehumidifier run too much?
- B
  Barry MuellerAug 7, 2025
  If your Soleus Air Dehumidifier is running excessively, it might be due to the area being too large for the unit's capacity. Alternatively, open doors and windows can also cause this issue. Closing all doors and windows to the outside can help.

  If you cannot set the controls on your Soleus Air Dehumidifier, it is normal for the compressor to turn off while the fan continues to run for about 3 minutes at a fixed setting. Wait approximately 3 minutes before setting the fan speed to your desired level.

  If you see frost on the coils of your Soleus Air Dehumidifier, it's likely normal if the unit has just been turned on or if the room temperature is below 41°F. The frost should disappear within about an hour.

  If you find water on the floor near your Soleus Air Dehumidifier, check the hose connection to ensure it's not loose. If you are using a hose, but it's not draining into a drain, disconnect the hose if you intend to use the bucket, or place the hose near a drain.
