How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power.

  • Reset control: Unplug for 10 minutes to reset the microcontroller, then power back on and check if H28 clears.
  • Check sensor harness: Inspect the humidity sensor wiring for damage and ensure the connector is fully seated and oriented correctly.
  • Use correct part: If the sensor was recently replaced, verify that a Panasonic‑approved sensor with the correct part number was installed. Replace with the correct part if necessary.
  • Firmware/PCB issue: If wiring and sensor are correct and H28 persists, the main PCB may have a firmware or hardware fault. Board replacement is recommended via an authorized service center.
