Is your dehumidifier running? Maybe you should check on it!

The humble dehumidifier: likely running alone in your basement month after month, year after year, perhaps without anyone checking to see if it’s running properly!

Consider checking on your dehumidifier to see if it is working well, and perform some maintenance on it, if needed. Damp surfaces in the home can grow mold!

Here are some tips to keep your dehumidifier running:

1. Read the manual, if you still have it.

   
   

2. Clean any filters and check them regularly.

   
   

3. Wipe the outside (especially air passages) of the dehumidifier with soapy water to clean it off.

   
   

4. If the fan is noisy, check it for dust and use compressed air to blow it out.

   
   

5. If you use a drain hose, make sure it is draining properly and where you want it to go.

   
   

6. And remember to empty the water collection tank every few days.
