Yes, most have a Humidistat which senses the moisture in the air and cuts in and out as needed. This sort of says that it does. Runtime is calculated based on using cool water and setting the mist level between the low and medium settings. Based on the natural humidity level in your home, the temperature of water you use, and the mist level setting you choose, you may experience longer or shorter run times.

You may be over filling the unit. Take the refillable water tank out and with the power removed try to remove all the extra water where the tank goes. check for anything that looks cracked inside the unit the best you can. If the tank is seating properly it should not leak. If it is filled properly it should not leak.

fix crack/damaged --or--seal /gasket

How it is wired makes a difference and we dont know if it has its own transformer or it's taking power from the air handler or the furnace transformer / control board.

I have got the same problem with my u7142 unit. This most probably means that the hygrostat inside is either broken or it has been heavily covered with the "white dust" in case the demineralization cartridge has not been changed for a long while. To resolve it you have two options: either clean the humidity sensor or replace it. The sensor is at the bottom of the front panel, so you need to disassemble the front panel only, no need to open the whole unit (note that there are 2 screws at the bottom holding the front panel also). You need to get the sensor out from the printed circuit to open the cover and clean the surface of the sensor with something (blowing air does not help; you need physically touch the surface with something). If it does not help then you can go for the second option to replace the sensor, the type used in the unit is SYH-1. It is not a pricy element so you may go straight to the replacement if you find a shop nearby to buy it. I have simply replaced the sensor and now the unit is showing the proper humidity value and adjusting the steam automatically again.

Question edited for full make model (what it is) Question moved from Dishwashers category. It looks like there are no spares apart from consumables. Try the maker direct. https://www.google.com/search?q=essick+ed11600+humidistat https://www.iallergy.com/collections/humidifier-replacement-parts?constraint=essick-air https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/humidifiers/essick/ed11600.html ..

It started working again on its own. Not much of a solution!

I think some water must have got into the electronics and then once it dried, the humidifier started to work again.

Some helpful videos in the link as well as text articles and a link to a previously answered question on Fixya. https://www.google.com/search?q=Aprilaire+760+making+strange+sound It may be too high a water pressure for the solenoid.

Aprilaire Humidifier, too powerful a solenoid? Vent ducts noise.

https://www.houzz.com > discussions > aprilaire-humidifie... The noise might be caused by having the water pressure up too high for the solenoid. Try backing off the water supply until the sound goes away. Hopefully, ... ..

Try turning the water valve going to the soleniod down. There may be too much pressure. You may have to replace solenoid one more time after making the adjustment.

no info generic answer ---check fan and compressor

notify hunter or online search

Yes thats how it works If you think the flow is too fast turn down the flow , with the valve on the water line .

Mine would stop because the float that shuts it off when the water is too low did not float high enough. There is a little cap that pulls off, then a white ring that has a small magnet in it. Take that off and put a nylon washer on the stem first, then the magnet ring, then replace the cap. Nylon floats and helps the magnet stay high enough to keep it running.

where is moisture draining off to ---check for pan leak -drain leak or if pump used test it

Try Bionaire Canada https://www.bionairecanada.com/en_CA/filters/humidifier-filters-and-wicks/ Seems to be short stocked https://www.google.com/search?q=Bionaire+Humidifier+mod+BT199%2C+DMC22 .

I had this same problem! It's not because the tank is too full. I never overfilled mine, but I had the same spitting problem. I realized it was because I had added too much salt. I tried it once with no salt, but it never did anything. Literally was plugged in for 12 hours, and nothing happened. So I added just a PINCH of salt, and it works perfectly now. It's also not because you haven't cleaned it.....Literally just too much salt.

if possible try and check the lines or hoses that run from the wat er supply to the point where the steam comes out. It is very possible that the lines are clogged with water deposits. Thats why most of the time they suggest that you use distilled water in your vaporizer. hop this helps. Lynn

Here is a link to the owners manual. http://www.aprilaire.com/themes/aa/en/manuals/Humidifiers_Owners_Manual.pdf
You can also pickup some cheap humidity gauges at a hardware store to check the settings on your unit verses the actual humidity in the house.
