Possible Causes

Faulty humidity sensor element, Condensation or water damage, Contamination from dust or chemicals, PCB fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before opening the thermostat casing.

  • Visual inspection: Check for signs of moisture, corrosion, or dust buildup around the sensor area (often a small vented section).
  • Drying: If recently exposed to high humidity or splashes, allow the thermostat to dry in a warm, dry room (power off) for several hours.
  • Clean gently: Use dry compressed air to blow away dust; do not use liquids directly on the sensor.
  • Disable humidity control: If humidity-based functions are not critical, disable them in settings to clear alarms.
  • Replace thermostat: If humidity readings remain unrealistic, the sensor is likely defective and not user-replaceable.
