How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply to the humidifier before servicing.

  • 1. Check for humidifier: If a Dettson-compatible humidifier is installed, verify it is turned on and set correctly.
  • 2. Inspect water supply: Ensure the saddle valve or shutoff to the humidifier is open and water is flowing.
  • 3. Verify wiring: Confirm the humidifier is wired to the correct HUM or accessory terminals on the Dettson control board.
  • 4. Clean or replace pad: Replace the humidifier evaporator pad if clogged with mineral deposits.
