Well, we know the filter was playing a role in it.. Good job on cleaning that. Depending on where you have the humidity extraction level set, the fan could run all the time (It's direct drive. No belt). I suspect if you lower the humidity extraction level to 35%, you will see/hear water collecting in the bucket after about 30 minutes to an hour of operation.
Also, maintain at least 18" of clear air space around the entire unit.
In addition, if you're using this in a basement Ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 - 60 degrees.
dehumidifiers do not work well between those temperatures Unless, you have a Low Temp Unit). This applies mainly to where the air
temperature at floor level is colder than at shoulder level
in basement applications . Raising the unit up off the floor, onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight of the unit, plus a full tank of water, will usually resolve this problem.
Hope this helped you to further troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know.
