Problem

 

 

Humidifier will not heat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Humidifier will not fill

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Humidifier will not stop 

filling or is short cycling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Possible Cause

 

 

Blown heater fuse(s)

 

 

Control transformer not 

 

producing 24 vac control 

 

voltage

 

 

Safety controls open

 

(airflow switch, high

-

limit, etc.)

 

 

Over

-

temp switch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faulty humidity sensor

 

 

Faulty immersion heater

 

 

 

 

 

No water pressure

 

 

Drain valve open

 

 

Faulty water float valve

 

 

 

 

 

Fill valve stuck open

 

 

 

 

Drain valve open

 

 

Recommended Action

 

 

Check and replace.

 

 

Check transformer output.

 

Verify voltage across terminals #9 (hot) and #10 

(comm).

 

 

Verify that all safety controls are completing the 

safety circuit.

 

 

The level control circuit has interference or is 

damaged.  Mineral on low water float switch may 

be preventing the switch from opening on low 

water condition. Consult factory if you are unsure 

of the source of the problem.

 

 

 

Verify voltage to and from humidity sensor.

 

 

Check and verify heater voltage and

 

amperage.  Compare to diagram or

 

nameplate label ratings.

 

 

 

Check water supply.

 

 

Close drain ball valve.  

 

 

Check float valve seat for dirt.

 

 

 

 

 

Check float valve seat for dirt.

 

Adjust float ball arm.

 

Check float ball for leaks.

 

 

Close drain ball valve.
