Vicks Over-Humidification / Incorrect Sizing or Placement

Humidifier causes excessive condensation on windows and walls.

Possible Causes

Humidity set too high, Unit oversized for room, Poor room ventilation, Mist outlet aimed directly at surfaces

Safety first: Avoid prolonged condensation, which can lead to mold growth.

Lower humidity setting: Set the target humidity to 40–50% on models with a humidistat.
Reduce output: Use a lower mist output setting or intermittent operation.
Reposition unit: Aim the mist away from windows and walls and place the unit more centrally in the room.
Improve ventilation: Open a door or slightly crack a window to allow excess moisture to escape.
