8. If drain valve and fill valve are both energized and water is below the 1/3 full level in the electrode 

canister (float canister for DI units), make sure the status of Steam Generation in menu is "STEAM 
GEN.". Perform continuity check to be sure.

9. If drain valve only is energized and water level is below the 2/3 full level in electrode canister (float 

canister for DI units), there may be excessive debris in electrode canister (float canister for DI 
units). Inspect and clean if needed. See page 21 for Cleaning Procedure for Electrodes.

10. PC board may be defective. Consult the factory.

Humidifier fills with water, but does not turn "STEAM GEN" message on for 3 minutes
after reaching low water level.

1. Perform steps 1 through 3 from above "Humidifier will not fill..."

2.

For Tap Water: 

Check AC voltage across the common electrode (longest) and the low level 

electrode (medium length). The voltage will be approximately 17-20 VAC if the circuit is open. 
When the water level closes, circuit voltage should drop to <5 volts.

(a) If voltage is not 17-20 VAC with circuit open, check continuity of wires from electrodes to 

PC board. If continuity is OK, the PC board is likely defective.

(b) If voltage is  17-20 VAC with circuit open, but does not drop when water contacts the two 

electrodes, the water may be too pure (consult factory) or if the voltage drops very slowly to 
about 5 volts then the electrodes need cleaning. See page 21 for cleaning procedure for 
electrodes.

3.

For DI Water:

Check continuity across the two wires to the low water float switch. If no continuity, 

switch may be defective or "hung up". Make sure movement of switch is vertical so the float arm 
swings freely.

4. If high limit/sail circuit is closed, low water level circuit is closed, and there is a calling for humidity, 

the status of steam generation should be "STEAM GEN.".  If not, PC board or wiring harness is 
defective.

"STEAM GEN." turns on after initial fill to low water level, but amperage draw check
shows low or no amperage draw.

1. Check for line voltage to heating elements at secondary side of contactor and/or power module. 

Verify power supply is same as voltage rating on humidifier nameplate.

2. If voltage is correct, the heating elements are likely defective. Turn off main power, disconnect all 

elements and check element resistances (see resistance chart on Page 36 and 38). Look for open 
circuits or elements with high resistance.

3. If voltage is not present at elements, check primary voltage fusing.
