Possible reasons / Solutions
Noise occurs if the compressor has just activated .
• The area to be dehumidified is too large . Your dehumidifier's capacity may be inadequate .
• The doors are open .
• There might be some devices generating vapour in the room .
This occurs when the room temperature and/ or humidity are too low .
Due to the rising temperature of the heat exchanger, the air may have a strange smell at first .
The appliance may be a bit noisy if operates on a wooden floor .
This is normal . It is the sound of the refrigerant flow .
This is due to water evaporating during the dehumidification factory test .
This is a protection function . When the room temperature exceeds 35°C or drops below 5°C, the
machine will not operate .
• Check if the ON/OFF button was pressed .
• The plug was not inserted or is not making contact .
Check whether you have set the Timer function .
•
• Wait 3 minutes then restart the appliance: the protection device may be preventing operation .
In the Dry and Quiet modes, the fan speed cannot be adjusted .
In the Dry and Cont modes, the Humidity button is not available .
If an error code such as F1, F2, F0, L1 or E5 appears on the display panel (1), switch the appliance off and
disconnect it from power supply then contact the nearest Whirlpool authorised service centre .
If H3 appears on the display panel (1), verify whether the room temperature exceeds 35°C (the room
temperature must be lower than 35°C) or whether any dirt needs to be removed (clean grids and the
filter, if necessary) . If the problem persists, contact the nearest Whirlpool authorised service centre .
• Check that the room where the appliance operates is not too small . When the compressor
overheats, it automatically shuts off to prevent any accidents . Should this occur, unplug the
appliance, solve the problem, wait for about 45 minutes then restart the appliance .
In Continuous mode, when the water bucket is full, the appliance stops automatically; the
•
same occurs when the water bucket is extracted or incorrectly positione .
If the water bucket is full or has been removed for over 3 minutes, the Water Full indicator will
•
light up and emit a "beep" . The appliance will resume working once the water is drained and
the water bucket is re-inserted .
• In the continuous drainage mode, placing the appliance on an uneven surface or improper
hose installation may result in water filling up the bucket and causing the appliance to switch
off . Should this occur, empty the water bucket then check the dehumidifier's location and the
hose for proper set-up .
In case of power failure, all settings will be memorized . Once the power supply is restored, the unit
will resume operating according to the memorized settings .
After switching off the appliance, the dehumidifier needs to be plugged in for a few seconds to
close the louvre . To allow the machine to close the adjustment louvre, plug the appliance in and
wait a few seconds until the adjustment louvre closes completely .
