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.
