    Solenoid can work when it wants to - what's up?

    Thanks, Don. Here's another update: After I cleaned up the sail switch it worked for a while then quit again. But I think I've got it figured out: There's a metal bracket that's part of the humidistat that goes into the duct and sits directly below the sail. The sail is made of a thin...

    Solenoid can work when it wants to - what's up?

    Don, looks like you're the man today! I just pulled the humidistat out of the return and the sail switch (especially the sail itself) was caked with dust and, as you suggested, stuck in the open position.

    Solenoid can work when it wants to - what's up?

    Hi everyone- I have a furnace mounted humidifier question. My unit doesn't have a name or model number on it, so I'm not sure who made it. There's a company name inside, probably of the seller and/or installer, but I can't find them. (See pictures attached - one is the inside of the unit and...
