Angry Re: basement dehumidifier

I came across a dehumidifier that keeps icing up. We shut it off and let it defrost and it keep freezing up
. It is located in a damp new home basement.
Do you think the dehumidifier is too small? Or what causes it to ice up?

Thanks

Default Re: basement dehumidifier

poor air flow through the unit.
maybe the fan is malfunctioning.

room temp may be too low.
most units call for a min temp of 65-70*

is it a total frost over, or just partial?

is it on the basement floor?
if so, elevate it and see what happens.
