Why does my bedroom smell metallic after running the dehumidifier?

Our answer

Compare the smell with the unit switched off and check the removable filter and collection tank for residue according to the manual. If the smell is sharp, like hot wiring, or the unit gets unusually warm, unplug it if safe and have it checked. A room smell alone cannot identify its source.
