Idylis humidifier. What can I do about the annoying low level alarm that wakes up my daughter during the night?
The alarm goes off erratically even when the level isn't low. Otherwise I'm happy with the product but no one appreciates being awaken for a 'HUMIDIFIER EMERGENCY'! I would like to disable the alarm or silence it if possible.

There could be several reasons why a humidifier stops running after refilling it with water. One of the most common reasons is that the humidifier's float switch is stuck in the "low water" position, which prevents the humidifier from turning on even after refilling it with water . Another reason could be that the humidifier's water level sensor is malfunctioning, which causes the humidifier to stop running even when there is enough water in the tank/
If you have a whole-house humidifier, it could be that the humidistat is set too low, which causes the humidifier to turn off even when there is enough water in the tank 1. Alternatively, if you have a portable humidifier, it could be that the unit's motor has burned out or that its fan has stopped working .
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try cleaning the float switch or replacing the water level sensor if they are damaged. If you have a whole-house humidifier, you can try adjusting the humidistat to a higher setting. If you have a portable humidifier, you can try replacing its motor or fan
I am very fond of my Idylis humidifiers. Best I've ever had. When I bought a 2nd one, I noticed that the HUMIDITY SETTING button had a small sticker on it that said "PUSH TO ROTATE". My larger unit [no longer available] did not have the sticker. And, the sticker instructions are indeed confusing. The button actually has 2 positions 1) when depressed all the way in the settings are locked in place and 2) when pressed in just enough to pop the button up and outward, the button becomes a rotating column that can be turned either L or R to set the desired % humidity. Once the digital readout is at your preference, push the column/button in to lock it down and secure your setting. OMG, so wordy on my part! I think the darn "PUSH TO ROTATE" sticker is not helpful.
