Possible Causes

Stuck float in low position, Misaligned water tank not depressing valve, Debris in water level chamber, Faulty float switch or reed sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the humidifier and remove the tank.

  • 1. Reseat the tank:
    • Refill the tank fully and reinstall, ensuring it sits flat and the valve pin opens.
  • 2. Clean float chamber:
    • Locate and remove the float from the base.
    • Clean float and chamber with mild soap or vinegar solution.
    • Ensure the float moves freely.
  • 3. Inspect sensor:
    • Check the float magnet and the reed switch or Hall sensor for damage.
  • 4. Test operation:
    • Reassemble and run; if the unit still shuts off quickly, the float sensor assembly may need replacement.
