How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the humidifier before opening the housing.

Steps:

  • Access the fan motor and check for obstructions. Remove any debris.
  • Spin the fan by hand; if stiff, the motor bearings may be seized and the motor should be replaced.
  • Test the motor windings for continuity. Replace the fan motor assembly if open.
  • If the motor tests good but does not receive voltage when commanded on, the main PCB fan driver is likely faulty and the board should be replaced.
