Scroll down towards bottom of page. I looked under the heading "CURRENT RESIDENTIAL MANUALS", and clicked on "Humidifier Model 600 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Template with Model 60".
The owner's manual reads "After the Water Panel is replaced, turn the Control knob to the “Test/Reset” position until the green “Humidifier ON” light flashes, to reset the Water Panel change timer."
A simple check you can perform on your aprilaire 760 is the following:
1) locate the two brown wires coming out of the 760 (these wires will be wired to tell the 760 to turn on when the hvac bower is on and the humidistat is calling for moisture).
2) temprarily disconnect the two brown wires from the external wiring and then short the wires together. All you're doing here is bypassing the your thermostat and bower-on indicator.
With the 70 unit plugged in to the wall outlet and the two brown wires connected together, both the fan and the solenoid valve (water inlet valve) should both be activated.
the 760 send power out the humidistat is just a switch if you touch the two brown wire coming outof the 760 the humidifier should come on if it doesnt and you had appiled power to those wire you probably shorted the 760 control board
I suppose you are looking at the do-it-yourself model. Depending on the wire that is run up to you Regular Thermostat from your furnace. You may have to run a seperate line for the Humidistat. A digital thermostat that does Humidity and Temperature is recommended. Or you could just place a Humidistat near the furnace room. A wiring diagram will come with the Humidifier discribing the different ways to wire it.
If you replaced the solenoid yourself make sure that is a 24VAC some solenoid are 120VAC and they look the same. to see if your humidifier is working you can short the 2 control wires coming from the humidifier I think the wires are brown or oa range. if you put then together the hum. should come on if is pluged in, if not then check your outlet see if you have 120AC plug in a lamp to check the outlet, if not your hum.may have a bad power supply you can get one at www.AppliancePartsPros.com/Parts
Not sure what type of humidifier you have but if is a power humidifier like the April 700 or 760 they do have a blower motor and it may be the fan blade is broken.But if you have a bypass humidifier is posible that your water solenoid may be making noise because of to much water pressure there is not much to a bypass humidifier, you may want to close the water supply valve a little at a time se if the noise goes away.
