Possible Causes
Out-of-calibration humidity sensor, Sensor obstructed by dust, Sensor placed too close to outlet air, Faulty sensor electronics
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing internal sensors.
- Compare with external meter: Use a separate hygrometer to verify actual room humidity.
- Clean sensor area: Gently clean dust from the intake grille and around the humidity sensor.
- Relocate unit: Ensure the unit is not placed where its own dry outlet air blows directly onto the sensor.
- Replace humidity sensor: If readings remain inaccurate, install a new humidity sensor module.
