Why is the SPX FLOW Dehumidifier showing a high humidity alarm?
- R
  robertsonjenniferAug 21, 2025
  A high humidity alarm on your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier can stem from a few reasons. The desiccant bed might be overloaded due to higher than design airflow and temperature, or lower than design pressure. Check these parameters. The dew point sensor or monitor could be damaged or defective, so examine the sensor for physical damage and check the monitor/sensor operation, replacing them if necessary. Also, the desiccant drying capacity might be lost, so examine filter elements and drains, repairing or replacing them as necessary. The useful life of the desiccant might have been exceeded.

Why are the indicator lights off on my SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
- A
  Alexis RowlandAug 28, 2025
  If the indicator lights on your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier aren't lit, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if there's power to the unit by checking the voltage at the terminal board. A loss of power supply to the dryer's electrical disconnect switch or breaker (customer supplied) could also be the problem, so ensure the disconnect switch or breaker is closed, and investigate and remedy the cause if a tripped breaker or blown fuse is found. A blown fuse could also be the reason, so replace the fuse. Finally, a board malfunction might be the cause, so replace the board.

What causes a heater over-temperature alarm in SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
- T
  Tracey GuzmanAug 30, 2025
  A heater over-temperature alarm in your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier can be triggered by insufficient purge gas flow. Check for any purge blockage or temperature sensor failure. Repair and replace components as required. A temperature sensor failure can also directly cause this alarm. Repair and replace the sensor as needed.

What to do if the SPX FLOW Dehumidifier displays a low pressure alarm during regeneration?
- M
  mbowmanSep 1, 2025
  If your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier shows a low pressure alarm during regeneration, check the left tower pressure switch operation using a tower pressure gauge and replace it if defective. Also, check for airflow out of the regenerating tower purge valve or exhaust piping, which would indicate that the regenerating tower purge exhaust valve isn't completely closed. Similarly, check for airflow out of the regenerating tower depressurization muffler, indicating that the regenerating tower depressurization valve isn't completely closed. Examine the repressurization valve (V11) for damage and repair or replace as necessary. Lastly, inspect the repressurization orifices for any blockage and clean them as needed.

How to reduce excessive pressure drop in SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
- J
  Jeff GreenSep 3, 2025
  To reduce excessive pressure drop in your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier, start by cleaning the inlet/outlet screens on the desiccant towers, following the desiccant removal instructions in the Maintenance section. If the flow rate is too high, check the inlet air flow rate and reduce it to the design flow rate.

Why is my SPX FLOW Dehumidifier showing a heater low-temperature alarm?
- K
  Kelly RangelSep 6, 2025
  A heater low-temperature alarm on your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier may be due to a heating malfunction caused by heater failure or heater contactor failure, so replace the heater or heater contactor. It could also be caused by temperature sensor failure, so repair and replace as required.

What causes a blower motor overload alarm on the SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
- T
  Tonya WrightSep 8, 2025
  A blower motor overload alarm on your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier can be caused by restricted or blocked purge airflow. Examine the intake filter on the blower and clean or replace the filter element if it's dirty. Check the voltages and currents in the motor circuit for a line failure.

What should I do if my SPX FLOW Dehumidifier displays a temperature under-range or over-range alarm?
- P
  Phillip AdamsSep 12, 2025
  If your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier displays a temperature under-range or over-range alarm, it could be due to a tower temperature sensor failure. Check the temperature circuit for continuity and repair or replace components as necessary.

What does an energy management under-range or over-range alarm mean on my SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
- R
  robert29Sep 13, 2025
  An energy management under-range or over-range alarm on your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier indicates a possible energy management sensor failure. Check the circuit for continuity and repair or replace as necessary.

What to check if the SPX FLOW Dehumidifier shows a dew point alarm during regeneration?
- S
  Sara SchmidtSep 15, 2025
  If your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier shows a dew point under-range or over-range alarm during regeneration, it could be due to an energy management temperature sensor (RTD4) failure. Check the temperature circuit for continuity and repair or replace as necessary.
