Not sure if you are still having your buzzing problem but I just fixed mine.. If you take off the front cover/fan assembly and remove the four torx screws holding the fan you can access the circuit board. There are two more small torx/flathead screws holding the transformer and board to the cover. Mine were loose causing the buzzing.

Hello. the buzzing sound you are hearing is coming from the solenoid valve on your humidifier. This could be due to low water flow going into the solenoid or the valve itself is going bad. I would check the saddle valve first and make sure you are getting a good stream of water to the solenoid valve, sometimes sediment gets built up in the saddle valve preventing water to flow. If the water flow looks good then replace solenoid valve.

Honeywell HE200 humidifier only runs when fan/heat are off

It sounds like the wiring for the humidifier may not be correct. The solenoid valve, which controls the flow of water to the humidifier, should be wired to the humidistat and the transformer, not to the furnace or fan. It is possible that the bottom wire of the solenoid is connected to the wrong terminal on the transformer or humidistat, or that the top wire is connected to the wrong terminal on the humidistat. I recommend consulting the installation instructions for your specific humidifier model, or consulting a professional HVAC technician to verify the correct wiring.

Wiring issue with the Honeywell HE360A Humidifier

Maybe I can help. this is 24v so it doestn't matter which wire goes where so here goes. 2 wires from humidistat go to furnace, split one of the wires(not both) so they reach the yellow wires on the humidifier. with marettsconnect one of the split wires to one of the yellow wires. do the same to the other split wire and yellow wire. what you should get is one wire from humidistat to furnace then one wire from humidifier to humidistat and one from humidifier to furnace. hope this helps
