What to look for

Humidifier
Drain tubing
Furnace blower not
operating.
Rapid air changes.
Drafts (cold air is dry
and is an added load to
the humidifier).
Condensation on
walls.
Heavy condensation
on windows.
Shut off water.
Tighten connections.
Verify that brass tubing inserts are used.
If a saddle valve is used as the shut-off valve, verify rubber
pad is installed on saddle valve.
Verify control circuit wiring.
Check all connections.
Turn the humidistat up all the way. If "Humidity Boost"
appears on the screen the H6062 is calling for humidity. If it
does not, the installer may not have enabled boost and it is
possible very cold outside temperatures could be restricting
humidity.
Verify that outlet has power.
After verifying other wiring components, turn on furnace fan,
turn humidistat up and down, and listen for solenoid to click.
Verify plumbing connections.
Check for kinks.
Verify shut-off valve is turned on. If a saddle valve is used,
verify that needle pierces water line and then backs out
needle to open valve.
Remove cover and verify that water flows into distribution
tray.
Verify no obstructions.
• 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.
• 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.
• Turn off humidity control and water until condensation is
completely evaporated.
• The H6062 can be set for frost control if outdoor sensor is
used. If already set for window protection. If frost
protection is enabled, and you still get condensation,
lower the setting on the H6062.
