Aprilaire Automatic Humidifier Model 700 - In the middle of the night the humidifier just started randomly clicking like it was trying to start. I turned it 'off', then the next day tried to 'test/reset' it. Everything sounds and looks correct when I'm testing, but does nothing when I set it to the correct %humidity & temperature. While testing, the light flashes for the 'Change Water Panel', not sure that means anything, but went ahead and changed the water panel, then did the 'test/reset' and still nothing after I adjusted it. If it works when I test it, then why is it not working when I set it?

SOURCE: Humidifier control .

if humidifier was wired into thermostat circuit for power instead of seperate transformer , this can happen. you need to see if you voltage going to the solenoid valve. if you do , and it isn't opening, the valve is bad . this is assuming that it is using a # 50 relay to come on only when the fan runs . . make sure the water valve is open

SOURCE: aprilaire 600 humidity level too low

you may try running your blower 100% of the time.this should allow the humidifier to stay on even when your not heating. once the humidity level gets to where you want it, you may be able to put the fan selector back to auto. also you mentioned you have a variable blower. this is great if it is set up to run at approx. 20% fan speed when it is not heating or cooling. at 20% you can circulate enough air through the house to humidify without being able to hear the noise of the blower. it will really increase the comfort level of the house if you tend to have hot and cool spots. if it was not set up this way, contact the installer and ask if they can do this for you.

Aprilaire 700. It works on fan on mode but not otherwise. It's never on and the humidity reading is always way below the setting. It should turn on automatically to bring the humidity up, right?

It appears your Aprilaire model 700 is wired to only operate when your HVAC fan is operated by your thermostat. Your HVAC installer can wire the humidifier control to operate the humidifier during a heat call, fan call or to turn on the fan when there is a need for humidification. Please contact your HVAC installer to have them change the wiring.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be of service

How difficult is it to change from manual to automatic mode on my model 700 humidifier?

Based on the information that I have found changing the humidifier from a manual setting to an automatic setting is somewhat easy. It will require you to remove the little blue resistor that is located at the humidistat on the two screws labeled odt and replace that with an outdoor temperature sensor part 8052 that needs to be ran to the outside of the home. Depending on your technical abilities you may be able to perform this procedure, but may need to get a contactor involved.

House is dry though it's quite cold outside and furnace is running. Aprilaire is turned up to 35 (I have a dial, not a digital panel). the water panel is completely dry (should it be?)

unless the humidty in your home is higher then 35%. if it is then the humidifier would not run. try turning it up higher and see if it comes on. Do you hear a click in the humidistat? as you turn up the dail when you hear the click is when the humidifier should come on. Also remember your furnace must be running for the humidifier to come on. if you hear the click and the humidifier fan comes on but no water, you may have a clogged inline filter located in the solinoid valve or a bad soliniod. all parts for your humifier can be purchased from www.aprilaire.com

Aprilaire 560 will only click and flow water when turned to "test" does not work in any other settings?

Humidity must be hi enough in the house or Humidistat is not working. Do you any way to check humidity in the house?
If the Humidistat is set as Automatic, try to leave it as Manual.

Aprilaire 760 keeps running.

The humidifier should not turn on untill the furnace blower starts. Since the fan stays on. does the solenoid valve also stay on? If they both stay on you probably have a bad humidistat. If only the blower stays on then the circuit bourd in the humidifier is defective.
Good luck
