How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the humidifier before servicing.
Steps to reduce white dust:
- Switch to distilled water: Use distilled or demineralized water in the tank to drastically reduce mineral output.
- Install/replace demineralization cartridge: If your Electrolux humidifier supports it, install a new demineralization cartridge or mineral filter according to the manual.
- Clean unit: Wipe down internal surfaces and the mist outlet to remove existing mineral deposits.
- Adjust output: Run the humidifier at a lower output setting to reduce airborne mineral concentration.
Note: White dust is not a mechanical failure but indicates water quality issues.
