Possible Causes

Extremely high room humidity, Humidity sensor contamination, Sensor shorted or out of range, Control board misreading sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps to address HI:

  • Verify actual humidity: Use a separate hygrometer. If humidity is indeed very high (above 90%), the reading may be accurate and the unit will run continuously until humidity drops.
  • Improve room conditions: Close windows and doors, reduce open water sources, and improve room ventilation.
  • Clean sensor: Remove the front grille and gently clean dust from the humidity sensor using compressed air.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the humidity sensor harness for damage. Replace the humidity sensor if HI persists in a normal-humidity environment.
