Ebac Dehumidifier Woes: Troubleshooting Tips for Homeowners

Mar 01, 2022 Last reply: 3 years ago 1 Replies

I have an ebac dehumidifier that has been working fine. My son dropped his kindle pad which seemed to take off with speed and hit the dehumidifier when it was running. The force was enough to move it and it momentarily went to ‘water container full’ due to the container moving. It hasn’t worked right since and seems to stay on all the time. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?


Hey there! Sorry to hear about your dehumidifier troubles, but don't worry - I've got you covered. Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like your dehumidifier is having some issues after taking a hit from your son's kindle pad. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Check the Water Container: Make sure the water container is properly in place and hasn't been dislodged or damaged by the impact. If it's not in the right position, it could be triggering the "water container full" alert and preventing the unit from working properly.
  2. Check the Humidity Settings: Your dehumidifier might be set to a humidity level that's too low, which could be causing it to stay on all the time. Try adjusting the settings and see if it makes a difference.
  3. Clean the Filter: A dirty filter can also cause your dehumidifier to malfunction. Try cleaning or replacing the filter and see if that helps.

In terms of tools and materials, you'll need:

  • Screwdriver
  • Cleaning cloth or brush
  • Replacement filter (if needed)

Now, here's the important part: while it's great to try to fix things on your own, sometimes it's best to call in a professional. If you're not comfortable working with electrical equipment, it's probably best to leave this one to the experts.

In summary, if your ebac dehumidifier isn't working properly after taking a hit, try checking the water container, humidity settings, and filter. If all else fails, consider calling in a pro. Good luck!
