Hi,

This is common in the cooler months. Too cool in the room, and very little humidity ( if any ) in the drier winter months.

Dehumidifiers:

One of the most common complaints about dehumidifiers is that the coils on the back freeze up. This happens when the room
temperature is too cool for proper operation. To solve this problem, try raising the unit up several feet by placing it on a
sturdy table as the room air is warmer nearer the ceiling.
Also, many dehumidifier drain buckets have a fitting on them where you can attach a garden hose. This is helpful as it
enables you to drain the unit to a floor drain instead of manually draining it when the bucket fills. NOTE: You may have to
knock or cut out a plug on the fitting first. Buy a garden hose plug for the fitting if you don't plan to keep the hose connected to the dehumidifier.
