Frigidaire Dehumidifier PU Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code PU
Appliance Dehumidifier

What PU tells you

The dehumidifier did not pump its bucket empty within the allotted time. The guide gives this code a heading of its own.

Owner checks

  1. Look at the pump drain hose and confirm it is securely connected.
  2. Confirm the hose is free of blockage, kinks and ice.
  3. Remove the bucket and empty it; look over its pickup for dirt or algae.
  4. Turn the dehumidifier off, then restart it in normal running conditions.
  5. Or unplug it, plug it in again and let it run normally.

When PU persists

The guide’s closing instruction is to schedule service.

Different codes

  • F5 and F2: sensor failures.
  • F0: a sealed system failure.
