Troubleshooting Diagnostic Codes
The display on the dehumidifier will show the diagnostic code and “SERVICE REQUIRED” when the unit is
turned ON. If more than one code is detected, they are displayed consecutively:
E1 - Internal %RH/Temperature Sensor Failure: The User Interface Assembly is not receiving a good
signal from the temperature/RH sensor.
1. If the unit was built before the 21
st
week of 2015 and/or has a user interface board with
Version V2.3 or earlier, determine if the unit is installed in conditions where the potential
for condensation on the sensor board could occur (see note below photos). If the unit
does not have the board with the E1 code change, replace the user interface assembly
(5445).
2. Turn off power to the dehumidifier using the ON/OFF toggle switch. Remove the User
Interface Assembly by first removing the four screws securing it to the housing. Carefully
pull the User Interface Assembly away from the housing and disconnect the three wire
cable from the back of the User Interface Assembly to be able to pull the User Interface
Assembly totally away from the dehumidifier. The small circuit board screwed to the
back of the User Interface Assembly is the sensor board. Replace the RH Sensor board
(5460).
NOTE E1 Code Change: Beginning with serial number 212015A16241 the code was changed to V2.4. E1
and E8 will no longer occur when in External & Single Zone Mode. When in this mode combination, the
dehumidifier will not check the inlet air condition and will not use the on board sensor board to sample
the indoor temperature or humidity. This change is to eliminate issues in geographic regions where the
dehumidifier is installed with external control, in an environment that has periods of cold temperatures
and there is still a dehumidification demand. Condensation can form on the sensor board and sensors,
causing an E1 fault.

E2 – High Refrigeration Pressure: The temperature of the discharge line exceeds 190°F. This is self-
correcting unless it occurs for five consecutive compressor starts. This is usually caused by
the inlet air temperature being too high (i.e. greater than 100°F), or very low airflow through
the dehumidifier.
1. Turn the ON/OFF toggle switch OFF to reset the diagnostic code.
2. If the fan is not working, see “Fan does not Function” section on page 15.
3. Consider the following for the application:
1. If ducting to the HVAC system, make sure the inlet to the dehumidifier is not ducted
to the supply side of the HVAC system.
2. Attic installations – Inspect the ductwork attached to the inlet of the dehumidifier for
leaks if the ambient temperature is high.
3. Ventilation applications – High temperatures may be offset by mixing air from the
home into the dehumidifier.
E3 – Model 76 Remote Control Communication Loss: A Model 76 control, wired to the Remote
terminals of the User Interface Assembly, had communication, but has now stopped
communicating.
Note: For E3 to be displayed, the method of control had to have been set up for a Remote
control. This is done by selecting Remote Enabled in the set-up menu.
1. Use the color of the wire connected to the A, B, + and – (on the Model 76, the “+” and “-“
terminals are labeled “R/+” and “C/-“) terminals on both the base of the Model 76 and
the dehumidifier User Interface Assembly to verify that they are wired correctly. Make
sure the terminal screws on both the User Interface Assembly and the Model 76 base are
tight.
2. Remove the Remote terminal block from the User Interface Assembly and measure the
DC voltage across the + and – pins on the User Interface Assembly – this should read
approximately 35 V DC (±3V for voltage variation and load). If there is 0 volts, the User
Interface Assembly (5445) must be replaced. If in range, reinstall the Remote terminal
block.
3. If connections are correct and secure, turn off the dehumidifier and remove the Model
76 control. Use a short section of 4-wire cable to reconnect the Model 76 to the User
Interface Assembly to see if there is a problem with the existing wire. Turn the
dehumidifier back on. If the “E3” code continues, the Model 76 must be replaced, if the
code is gone, then the wire between the Model 76 and the dehumidifier must be
replaced.

E4 – Insufficient Capacity: The temperature of the suction line, as sensed by the Frost Sensor, has not
dropped at least 5°F in 20 minutes from the temperature it was when the compressor
started. One reason this would happen is if the dehumidifier went from a cold condition to a
warm condition very quickly (e.g. coming off a cold truck into a warm home) AND there was
little airflow through the unit prior to the compressor starting. If this is possibly the case,
then allow the dehumidifier to acclimate to the conditions for one hour before restarting.
Other reasons this code would be displayed is if the compressor is not running or if the
refrigeration system is not operating properly.
1. Use the ON/OFF button on the User Interface Assembly to turn the mode to OFF, then
flip the ON/OFF toggle switch to OFF, to reset the diagnostic code.
2. Turn the ON/OFF toggle switch back ON. With the mode still OFF, Press and hold the
MODE button and ON/OFF button to enter the Installer Test Mode.
3. The fan will run for 3 minutes with the display showing “AIR SAMPLING” and “TEST”, and
the inlet air RH. After three minutes, the “DEHUMIDIFYING” will replace “AIR SAMPLING”
on the display and the compressor will start – you should be able to hear this. The
compressor will run for one minute, and then the display will show “TEST DONE” and
return to the OFF mode.
If the compressor didn’t start (go to step 4), there is an electrical issue to address. If the
compressor did start (go to step 5), then you will need to verify that the refrigeration
system is working properly.

4. If the compressor doesn’t start
a. Turn the ON/OFF toggle switch to OFF.
b. Remove the panel on the side of the dehumidifier where the drain tube comes out,
and then remove the insulation piece. Inside the dehumidifier, remove the
electrical box cover.
c. Verify that the brown and orange wires are connected to the Internal Control board.
Verify that two brown wires are connected to one pole of the run capacitor and one
red wire is connected to the other pole. Give each wire a light tug to make sure all
connections are sound.
If any of the wires were disconnected, place the side panel back on (do not
secure with screws yet), and repeat steps 2 and 3 above. If it starts, go to step 5
to verify the performance of the refrigeration system before leaving. If it still
does not start, continue to the next step (d.).
If none were disconnected, continue to the next step (d.).
d. Turn the ON/OFF toggle switch back ON. With the side panel still off, stay clear of
the fan motor and repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
e. If the COMP LED is on but the compressor is not, remove the locking tab
connectors from the compressor BRN and ORG terminals and measure the voltage
at the pins on the Internal Control board:
If the voltage is 120VAC (nominal) then the problem lies with the run capacitor,
the connections at the compressor or the current limiting switch under the
compressor cap. Turn the ON/OFF toggle switch OFF and unplug the unit.
o Disconnect the wires connected to the run capacitor and the orange wire
connected to the Internal Control board. Measure the capacitance of the
run capacitor – it should be 45 microfarads ± 5% for the 70/95pt or 50
microfarads ± 5% for the 130pt. If not, replace the capacitor (5458 70/95pt
or 5594 130pt).
o Measure the resistance across the compressor harness wires. Actual
measurements may be a little different, but should be approximately:
