The temp is reading 32 degrees. The huuidity level is reading 35%. I know it is not 32 degrees in my basement. The unit will shut off with in a few minutes. Tried unplugging to reset. Still doesn't read the correct temp and humidity level. How do I get this to read correctly?
It sounds as if the temperature sensor probe is touching the cold coil inside. The sensor is located in the incoming airflow, in front of the cold coil. It must not touch the coil. This should be visible with the cover off. You can gently bent the sensor away fron the coil, 1/4-1/2" of clearance is plenty.

My dehumidifier is reading the wrong humidity. It claims the humidity is 35% when I have checked it with multiple meters and it is actually 55%. Is there a way to calibrate? Thank you.
Cannot get the humidity level to change - keeps reading 20 % and I know
that's not right. Have checked the manual but no schematic shown
and I don't know what I'm looking at when I take the back cover
off. What does the sensor look like so that I can check it's not
touching anything?
Thanks
the problem lies in the humidity gauge, it is reading the percentage way too low and shutting down the unit, is there some way to disengage that? or correct it?
