Return probe to factory for evaluation.
Clean the sensor and the sensor shield as described in
document 916-064, Basic GE Sensing Hygrometry
Principles. Then reinstall the sensor. If the low reading
persists, return the probe to the factory for evaluation.
Check the cable connections to both the probe and the
