Carrier Humidifier Model No.49BG013210 -
Hello
Check all supply registers of the unit, which are wide and flat and located on your walls. Make sure that they are open and unclogged. Inspect the cleanliness of the unit and of the distribution pad.
Observe the fan's function. Spray lubricant on on the motor shaft of the fan unit to ensure it rotates properly.
Take off the small pipe between the solenoid valve and the humidifier and check if the opening is blocked. If not, you may need to replace the solenoid valve.
Check whether the thermostat has been set to a heat position and that the temperature is set above the room temperature. Check that the furnace is getting power supply and the circuit panel to see if all the circuit breakers are in an "ON" position. Check all the return air grills on the wall, make sure they are not blocked.
Check whether the thermostat is set to "COOL." Check also the circuit breakers and that they are in an "ON" position. Make sure that the blower motor in the furnace is running, as it should be when the thermostat has been set in a cool position.
HUMBBLFP1218-A pulls water from the element and it
This Humidifier pulls air from outside the humidifier through the fins of the housing and the fan pushes the air through the element and into the duct. At least, that is what it is designed to do. If the element is clogged or worn and/or if the water distribution tray (located between the top of the element and the water solenoid) is dirty/clogged, it will prevent the humidifier from doing its job.
In your case, it sounds as if the water is pushed into the fan blades which indicates the air is flowing in the opposite direction.......the air in your ductwork is overpowering the force of the fan. At this point, you should check to make sure all supply registers for this system are open and onobstructed. Check your humdifier element and distribution pad for cleanliness/integrity. I say "integrity" because in time, the element will begin to fall apart. If all this fails, you should have a reputable company inspect your humidifier and ductwork static.
Without being there with toolbox in hand, I hope you find this information very helpful moving forward. :-)
Fan does not run
Hmmmmmm, does it seem to try? If so, help it with a spin and maybe a little spray of wd49 on the motor shaft.
No Water when Humidifier Runs
I had the same problem and thought the solenoid valve was bad and was about to spend $80 for a new one. Until I took the short pipe (between the solenoid valve and humidifier) off and found that the orifice was plugged. I used a sewing pin and cleared out the hole. Problem solved. I usually have to clean the orifice in the fall when I turn the heat on for the first time.
