Possible Causes
Failed humidity sensor, broken sensor lead, corroded connector at control board, control board input failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the humidifier before servicing.
How to address F1:
- Reset: Unplug for several minutes and restart. If F1 reappears, continue.
- Access humidity sensor: On Keystone humidifiers, the humidity sensor is typically located near the air intake or behind the front grille, connected to the control board by a small harness.
- Inspect and clean: Check for dust buildup or moisture on the sensor. Gently clean with dry compressed air.
- Check wiring: Ensure the harness is not pinched and that the connector is fully seated on the control board.
- Replace sensor: If the sensor is cracked or corroded, install a new Keystone humidity sensor module.
- Control board: If a new sensor does not clear F1, the main control board is likely faulty and should be replaced.
