Questions and answers
the humidifier is an older type, the drum is wet and turns ok but the humidity is low in the house. could it be that the humidistat is defective. If so, where can i buy a new one. I guess for the installation, all I have to do is wire it the same way as the old one. I'm located in Ottawa Ontario Canada. Any info you can give me will be very appreciated. Thank you in advance
If the drum is wet and turning but the humidity is low in the house, it does not necessarily mean the humidistat is defective. Other possible causes include:
- The humidistat setting may be too low.
- The outside temperature may have dropped, requiring a lower indoor humidity level to prevent condensation.
- The humidifier pad may be clogged with mineral deposits, reducing evaporation efficiency.
- The furnace may not be running long enough for the humidifier to add sufficient moisture.
Check and clean the pad, verify humidistat settings, and consider the furnace run time before assuming the humidistat is defective.
