The humidity light on the Honeywell HWM440 Series stays on after cleaning if the humidity level is still at or above the set level. The humidifier turns on and off to maintain the desired humidity setting. If the light remains on, it means the humidity has not dropped below the set level, so the device does not need to turn on.

Hello, I need help troubleshooting my humidifier (Honeywell HWM440WC Top Fill Warm Mist). I turned the on button to the left for low mist, but it doesn't turn on anymore. I tried the higher mist, and it works. I am wondering why I cannot use the lower mist option and how to fix this problem if fixable. Or is there a part I need to buy to fix it? I purchased it September 10, 2024 and has been working ever since until yesterday.

The low mist option on the Honeywell HWM440WC Top Fill Warm Mist Humidifier may not be working due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. No water in the tank – Fill the water tank. 2. Unit is not level – Place the humidifier on a flat, level surface. 3. Mineral deposits on the heating element – Clean the heating element following the cleaning instructions.
To fix the issue, check and correct each of these possible causes.

The Honeywell HWM440 Series humidifier may keep shutting off for the following reasons:
1. Out of Water – When the humidifier runs out of water, the Reset Light will illuminate, and it will shut off. To reset, turn the power off, refill with up to 1.5 gallons of water, wait 5 minutes, and turn the power back on. 2. Mineral Deposits on Heating Element – If the Reset Light remains on after refilling, the Heating Element may need cleaning. Mineral buildup can affect performance and cause shutdowns. 3. Auto Shut-off Feature – The humidifier has an automatic shut-off function for safety when water runs low. 4. Electrical Issues – Ensure the unit is plugged into a polarized 120V outlet and not experiencing power interruptions.
Cleaning the unit regularly and ensuring proper water levels can help prevent frequent shutdowns.
