How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before accessing the sensor.

  • Compare readings: Use a separate hygrometer to measure room humidity and compare to the unit's display.
  • Clean sensor: Gently clean the humidity sensor vents with a soft brush or compressed air.
  • Relocate unit: Move away from direct sunlight, heaters, or vents that can skew readings.
  • Replace sensor: If readings remain off by more than ~10%, replace the "Midea humidity sensor module".
