Possible Causes
Failed humidity sensor, Shorted or open sensor wiring, Sensor contaminated by condensation, Faulty ADC on main board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before accessing the sensor.
Steps:
- 1. Compare with external meter: Use a separate hygrometer to verify actual room humidity.
- 2. Inspect sensor: Locate the humidity sensor module behind the intake grille. Check for moisture or corrosion.
- 3. Dry and clean: Allow the sensor to dry if wet. Gently blow off dust.
- 4. Replace sensor: If readings remain unrealistic, replace the sensor module.
- 5. If problem persists: The main control board’s ADC circuit may be defective and require board replacement.
