Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, but they’re only effective within a certain volume. If your room is too large, the unit may struggle to maintain comfortable humidity levels, especially in damp weather. If the room is small and the unit is too large, it might over-dry the air or use more energy than necessary.

To find the area (how much floor space you have):  

Measure the length and width of your room in metres. Then multiply those two numbers.

For example: If your room is 5 metres long and 4 metres wide, the area is 20 square metres (5 × 4 = 20m²).

To find the volume (how much space is in the whole room): 

Measure the height of the room as well, then multiply length × width × height. 

For example: If your room is 5 metres long, 4 metres wide, and 2.5 metres high, the volume is 50 cubic metres (5 × 4 × 2.5 = 50m³).

When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that there is a minimum of 20cm space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow. 

  • Check the plug socket is turned on. 
  • Try an alternative socket. 
  • Change the fuse in the plug. 
  • Confirm it has power. 
  • Empty the water tank. 
  • Ensure the water tank is positioned correctly. 
  • Clean the filter. Always refer to the user manual. 
  • Ensure the air filter is not blocked.
  • Ensure the intake duct or discharge duct is not obstructed. 

Always refer to the user manual.

  • Check is on a level flat surface.
  • Ensure it is not tilted or unsteady. 
  • Clean the filter. Refer to the user manual. 

If your air purifier is making a loud noise, please check the following: 

  • The filter may be clogged and needs cleaning or replacing. 
  • The fan could be obstructed or off-balance. 
  • The unit may not be sitting on a flat, stable surface. 
  • Inspect for loose parts or panels. 

If your air purifier is not improving the air quality, please check the following: 

  • The filters may be old or incorrect for your model. 
  • The room might be too large for the unit’s rated capacity. 
  • Windows or doors may be open, letting in pollutants. 
  • The unit might be in the wrong spot—try placing it centrally or near sources of pollution. 
  • Check if it's plugged in securely. 
  • Ensure the power outlet works (test with another device). 
  • Make sure the power switch is on. 
  • Some models won’t start if the filter cover or housing isn’t properly closed. 
  • Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
