Dehumidifiers are designed to pull in moisture, and their filters do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to the output of pure, healthy air. Here, we dive into the ways to both remove and clean this specific LG filter, though the process should be very similar for nearly all modern dehumidifiers. As a rule of thumb, the filter should be cleaned every 350 hours of operation. Many units have a light or a button that indicates when it's time to clean the filter, too, taking out the guesswork. Every dehumidifier filter will be inside some sort of housing: open up your dehumidifier to find your filter and gently remove it from its frame. There are a few ways to remove dust and clean the filter. If all you see is light dust, a soft brush is appropriate to clean. In other situations, you may need water and detergent to remove all of the debris. When you're finished, make sure you replace it so that it fits perfectly—the same as when you removed it. Then, add the framework of the filter back to the dehumidifier, ensuring that everything falls, or "clicks" into place. Finally, hold the filter reset for three seconds as noted.
