Insignia
Humidity Reading Calibration Error
Dehumidifier display shows inaccurate humidity (e.g., always 30% or 80%)

Possible Causes
Faulty humidity sensor, Sensor contaminated with dust or moisture, Sensor wiring issue, Control board ADC fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps:
- Verify with external meter: Use a separate hygrometer to compare actual room humidity with the dehumidifier display.
- Clean sensor area: Access the humidity sensor near the air intake and gently blow off dust with compressed air. Do not soak with liquids.
- Check wiring: Ensure the sensor harness is intact and firmly connected to the control board.
- Replace sensor: If readings remain far off, replace the humidity sensor module with an Insignia-compatible part.
Note: Slight differences (±5%) are normal; large discrepancies indicate a fault.
