Possible Causes
Room temperature below minimum operating range, Ambient thermistor reading too low, Unit placed near cold draft or window, Faulty ambient temperature sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before relocating it.
Steps to resolve LO:
- Check room temperature: Confirm the room is above the minimum operating temperature listed in your Whynter manual (often around 41°F / 5°C).
- Relocate the unit: Move the dehumidifier away from cold windows, exterior doors, or unheated areas.
- Allow warm-up: Let the unit sit unplugged in a warmer room for at least 30 minutes, then plug in and test.
- Sensor inspection: If LO appears even in a warm room, the ambient thermistor may be faulty and require replacement.
