Possible Causes

Humidity sensor out of calibration, Sensor blocked by internal moisture, Sensor wiring issue, Control board not responding to sensor input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the sensor.

  • 1. Verify with external hygrometer:
    • Compare room humidity with a separate hygrometer to confirm the built-in reading is inaccurate.
  • 2. Clean sensor area:
    • Brush dust from the sensor grille.
    • Ensure the sensor is not directly in the mist path.
  • 3. Dry condensation:
    • If the sensor area is damp, allow the unit to dry completely.
  • 4. Replace sensor:
    • If readings remain inaccurate, replace the humidity sensor module.
  • 5. Control board check:
    • If a new sensor does not restore proper cycling, the control PCB may be defective.
