Always check the manual for guidelines on the installation and maintenance of your small refrigerator dryer air. Every make and type has its own specific needs and instructions.

In general however, keep the following things in mind:

Install the small refrigerator dryer air in a cool, dust-free room. You will probably also need a drain somewhere to get rid of the water (can be liters of water per day!). Normally you just need a standard 115 (usa) / 230 (Europe) voltage power source.

By far the most common, number 1, breakdown I have seen with small refrigerator dryer air is over-heating. When the condenser of the refrigerant circuits get dirty, or the room is just too hot, the small refrigerator dryer air can't get rid of the heat. It will eventually trip on its over-pressure switch.

Maintenance: clean the condenser once in a while. Be careful, the small plates (fins) are sensitive. A good way to remove all the dust is by using a steel-brush and gently scrape off all the dust. There are also special condenser fin combs to clean and straighten the fins.

Another problem I have seen sometimes is that the small refrigerator dryer air actually gets too cold!

If for some reason the small refrigerator dryer air dries the air to below 0 degrees Celsius, the water will freeze and the ice will block the pipes. In the end, the small refrigerator dryer air will be completely blocked.

Sometimes this happens because somebody just set the setpoint too low, sometimes there is something wrong in the refrigerant circuit (a sensor or valve for example), in which case you will need to get a mechanic to repair it.
