Hi Tom thanks so much. I ran a dehumidifier beside the unit for a time and it was fine. Switched it on and running perfectly (phew!) Water is still accumulating in the cell itself. Drain is clear... any idea why water would build up in the cell? thanks so much Aoife
Thanks so much for your very helpful guide. We have had our unit for 13 years. Still going strong but it has started to accumulate water in the cell itself. Drain is clear. I've washed the cell as instructed and thoroughly dried it before returning it to the unit. After a few days the cell is full of water again and leaking out of the unit onto the floor... any clues as to the problem? This had happened before and after cleaning the cell everything returned to normal for the last two years so I'm a bit puzzled.
In checking the drain I spilled some water onto the fan and now I'm afraid to power on the unit :( is the water on the fan a major danger/issue? I can't see if there are any electrics below it?
