- Loose wiring or parts
- Faulty humidistat, solenoid valve, or distribution tray
- Malfunctioning fan, motor, belt, control board, or electrical setup

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my humidifier smell musty?
Musty or unusual odors coming from your humidifier are likely caused by the buildup of dust, bacteria or mold inside the unit. For portable units, this often indicates the need to clean your humidifier or simply change the tank water. If you notice this issue with your whole home humidifier, it’s possible the drain line is clogged, the filter needs changing, or there is mold growth inside your ductwork. For these issues, call our service professionals for help.
Why is my humidifier not working?
If your humidifier isn’t working, it’s likely a result of one of these common issues:
- Old or clogged filter
- Low water levels
- Loose parts or electrical
- Dirty or jammed float valve
Simple troubleshooting or cleaning may initially resolve these issues. If your humidifier continues to malfunction, it’s best to call our professionals.
Why is my humidifier not misting?
The most common reasons your humidifier isn’t misting are:
- No power
- Grime and mineral buildup
- Humidity settings are off
- Float valve is loose, jammed, or broken
If these issues are not resolved by cleaning your unit, checking power connections, or adjusting settings, then you should contact your local Aire Serv.
How often do you replace humidifier filters?
Due to the amount of dust, grime, and potential mold buildup on your humidifier filters, we suggest you replace them at least once every 3 months. If you have more significant home pollutants, or higher allergy sensitivities, you may need to replace your filters more frequently.
