How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before opening the housing.

Steps:

  • Dry the sensor: If the unit has been used with essential oils (not recommended unless specified), residue may affect the sensor. Allow the unit to dry out for several hours.
  • Locate humidity sensor: Usually near the air outlet or intake, a small vented module on the PCB.
  • Clean gently: Use dry air or a soft brush to remove dust. Do not use liquids.
  • Check connector: Ensure the sensor is firmly plugged into the PCB.
  • Replace sensor: If H5 persists, install a new Orbegozo-compatible humidity sensor module.
