How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before internal work.

Steps:

  • Relocate unit: Ensure the humidifier is not placed in a corner or enclosed space where mist accumulates around the sensor.
  • Dry sensor: Turn off the unit and let it sit unplugged for several hours to allow condensation on the sensor to evaporate.
  • Clean sensor housing: Gently clean around the sensor vents with a dry cotton swab to remove moisture and dust.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the sensor harness for damage or loose connections.
  • Replace sensor: If HI persists and independent measurements show normal humidity, replace the humidity sensor module.
