After verifying other wiring components, turn on
furnace fan, turn humidistat up and down, and listen
for solenoid to click.
Plumbing
Verify plumbing connections.
Check for kinks.
Saddle valve
Verify that needle pierces water line and then backs
out needle to open valve.
Humidifier
Remove cover and verify that water flows into
distribution tray.
Drain tubing
Verify no obstructions.
Low humidity
Furnace blower not operating.
Reset circuit breaker or check for blown fuse.
Check that the furnace power is on.
Check all external wiring connections.
Check the humidity control setting.
Call a professional heating contractor.
Rapid air changes. Drafts (cold
air is dry and is an added load
to the humidifier).
Keep doors and windows closed.
Close fireplace damper when not in use.
Keep exhaust fan running time to a minimum.
Seal around doors and windows.
High humidity
Condensation on walls.
Turn off humidity control and water until
condensation is completely evaporated.
Heavy condensation on
windows.
Turn humidity control down low enough to
eliminate condensation caused by moisture from
bathing, mopping, cooking, etc. If moisture
persists, more ventilation is needed.
