Solution

Does the unit feel warm or blowing warm air?

• It is very typical for your unit to be warm to touch when in use and blow out warm air. This appliance uses both a compressor and fan to run that generate heat. The condensation process extracts heat from the room air. This heat is collected and transferred to the exhaust air.
• Make sure the unit has sufficient space around it. If the unit does not display an error code it is operating normally.
• Unplug the unit for 30 minutes and plug back in.
• If the unit continues to run hot, unplug it and contact us for further assistance.

Is the unit set to "Continuous Run" (Displays "CO")

• "Continuous Run" (Display = CO) will cause the compressor to run continuously, making the unit feel warmer.
• "Continuous Run" is recommended for short periods (1 or 2 days) during high humidity only. Unit should then be set to the desired humidity set point.
