Aprilaire 760 won't start




By homeownernew on Dec 26, 2008

" "
My humidifier wont start. I can hear a clickl when I rotate the humidistat from off position. But i never see the water flowing out of the solenoid valve. I changed the solenoid valve thinking it must be faulty, but still this wont work.

I am planning to check if the voltage (24V) is coming in to the solenoid valve. My other question is if i remove the front part (cover) of the humidifier from its base which has a power cord connected and plug it in, should the fan work?

What else should I do?

does your humidistat have a test setting? and yes the fan should run when you plug it into a wll outlet. Steve

Same Problem

-   I do have the same problem- I hear a "click" when adjusting the humidity level but do not hear any fan motor/water flow. I have viewed both the control knob assembly and the fan/exchange unit attached to the air ducting flowing from the furnace. I have very little experience in household appliances, etc. but would appreciate any advice anyone may have!! Steve -   Guest

No. when you remove the front cover it will automatically disconnect the power supply. Try changing the water panel and cleaning out the orifice and filter screens located in the water lines connected to the solenoid valve.
