Possible Causes
Blocked air outlet, Fan failure (on warm-mist models), Mineral buildup on heating element or ultrasonic transducer, Faulty temperature sensor, Main PCB overheat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the humidifier and allow it to cool completely before servicing.
- Check airflow: Ensure the air outlet and intake are not blocked by objects or dust. Clean grilles with a soft brush.
- Clean internal components: For ultrasonic models, clean the transducer and water tray with white vinegar to remove mineral deposits. For warm-mist models, descale the heating element per Haier’s instructions.
- Verify fan operation: If your model has a fan, ensure it runs when the unit is on. A non-running fan can cause overheating.
- Reset and test: After cleaning and cooling, plug the unit back in and test. If H3 recurs quickly, a temperature sensor or PCB fault is likely and may require professional service.
