Humidity sensor too close to outlet, sensor reading localized high humidity, incorrect humidity setting, sensor drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Relocate unit: Move the humidifier away from corners and ensure the outlet is not blowing directly onto the humidity sensor or walls.
  • Adjust setting: Lower the target humidity to encourage longer run times.
  • Compare readings: Use a separate hygrometer to compare room humidity with the unit's display. If the unit reads much higher, the humidity sensor module may be faulty and should be replaced.
