There are several things that can cause the problem:
1. The humidity extraction level is set to high. Lower it to 35%
2.The air intake filter is dirty and/or clogged. Remove the filter and clean it.
3. The cooling coils on the dehumidifier need cleaning.
4. Not enough clear air space all around the unit. Maintain at least a minimum of 12" air space all around the unit, while in operation.
5. The ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 & 60 degrees F. This is particularly true, in basement applications. Raise the unit up off the floor onto something sturdy, that can maintain the weight (including a full bucket of water) and the vibration.
The above 5 things are the most frequent causes of your problem. Start your troubleshooting with these.
Hope this helps you solve the problem. Please let me know. Thanks.
The dehumidifier has a non-removable tray under the coils (they look like radiators) that collects and drains the water away. If the tray or drain gets clogged with dirt or slime the water doesn't drain away well. Some water is picked up by the fan and is blown out the vent. Take the covers off the machine and give everything a good cleaning. If you get water on any electrical parts, let the machine dry thoroughly before plugging in.
