Typical problems encountered can include frost on the coils, a leaking tank, noisy operation, little or no water being collected, no air coming out of the unit, a bad smell, and a faulty humidistat. One of the most common issues encountered is that it just won’t run at all. A small number (2%) of participants in our survey told us that their machine had frosted up.
