Possible Causes

Humidity sensor reading too low, Sensor disconnected or failed, Control board not responding to sensor input, Incorrect humidity setpoint or mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Check settings: Confirm the target humidity is not set too high (e.g., 70–80%). For comfort and to avoid condensation, set between 40–50%.
  • Verify sensor: Compare the humidifier's reading with an external hygrometer. If the built‑in reading is much lower, the sensor may be faulty.
  • Inspect sensor wiring: Unplug the unit, open the housing, and ensure the humidity sensor harness is connected securely.
  • Replace sensor: Install a new humidity sensor module if readings are inaccurate.
  • Control board: If the sensor is accurate but the unit ignores the setpoint, the main PCB may be defective and should be replaced.
