Check power, water level, the humidistat target, and mineral buildup on the ultrasonic membrane before escalating.
Clean the transducer first, then press and hold the dedicated clean indicator/reset button for 3 seconds.
For the UHE-CMTF91, HoMedics lists two first checks: make sure the unit is level and make sure the water level is not low.
White dust is mineral residue from hard water, not a humidifier defect. Use distilled water and replace the demineralization cartridge as its performance declines.
A new-unit smell can be aired out; an in-use odor points to dirty or old water that should be emptied and replaced.
This is normal humidistat behavior. The unit turns off when it reaches the set humidity and resumes when room humidity drops about 5% below the setting.
