I have a 4-yr old LG dehumidifier 65 pts. This year when I went to use
it I noticed the "actual" reading was much too high. I know this
because I have another humidimeter on the wall and I know the air was
very dry.
So it seems the LG is not reading correctly. Since the humidity
set point looks at the actual for comparison (two side-by-side digital
displays) I fear this unit is cooked. (It does seem to run all the
time now.)
Am I probably right, or any ideas?
Thanks.

Does it use batteries perchance? just a wild guess. maybe a dirty sensor?

I have a Danby that is similar to capacity to yours and it's humidity
reading never matches the accurate ones. As long as it pulls water out
of the air when I ask it to, that's fine with me.

You won't get things accurate, so keep that in mind.
