I know a sensor can be near a steam dryer to detect a leak-but how does the unit "know" that the dryer is getting water? Do u have to turn a switch?

Water will flow through the unit until the sensor detects a leak. There is an audible alarm then as well as a flashing light. There is no water flow then.

I wired my fan to a switch and hard wired the humidity sensor. This ensures that the fan will come on when the humidity levels rise (when taking a shower) whether the switch is on or off Yes, the fan could randomly come on in the summer if the humidity levels are higher (you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor), but isn't that the point of the fan? Plus it costs less than pennies to run.

I put mine on the side of the furnace where I can see the light and down low , so if there is a leak , it will detect gasses. I think the gas is usually heavy and sinks to the ground, nothing else needed. I put it visible to check the battery and easy access

not sure how the waterbug works, but I use this relay for controlling my water heater via home automation. I have my water heater connected to this relay which is itself plugged into a smartoutlet. I can turn that outlet on/off remotely and in response to certain events. A similar applications could make use of a smartthings moisture sensor to tell the smartoutlet this relay is plugged into to turn off. Thereby powering off the pump when water is detected. Sorry not really answering your specific question regarding waterbug, but figured I'd show an example of how you could accomplish your goal using one of the various home automation solutions. not sure how the waterbug works, but I use this relay for controlling my water heater via home automation.

Yes Deborah you can check fuses with the Multimeter. Most important is to make sure the power to the dryer is off before you start. If the power is on to the dryer you could be KILLED. Once you have the power off, remove the fuse. Then set the Multimmeter to Ohms. Touch the Black and Red probes to the fuse. If the Ohms shows Zero the fuse is good. If the meter does not move the fuse is blown or Tripped and it must be replaced or reset. I hope this helps. Karl

No moisture sensor. I returned it because it was so loud. I tried to make sweet potato's for my dogs and it took longer than 7 hours.

It tells you how much water it can hold and when the steam stops coming out it is time to shut it off and let it cool down. You can not add more water till it cools down. It is a safety feature of the machine.

If your water tank is full and there are 2 solid green lights on, and you turn the knob farthest on the right (the machine's left), water should come out. If you press the furthest right button in the group of 3 on the top left, you'll get steam rather than water. If you're not getting water output, something is wrong. Hope this helps (?) and that your machine is functioning correctly.

You can dry the sensor and hold the button at the same time and it should reset. If the alarm is still sounding then that means that there is moisture inside the actual alarm portion. Please contact our office if we can help further.

If you leave the switch on "on" it is ready to respond whenever a preset humidity level is reached. Switch to "off" momentarily and back to "on" and it will run for a preset amount of time and automatically shut off. But, since the switch is still in the "on" position, it has reverted to humidity sensing mode and will automatically respond, once again. I have put 5 of these fans in rental units and I couldn't be happier with them. Be sure to check the screen over the sensing unit (where the LED light is) and remove dust so it will stay efficient.

Yes. that is what I bought it for and I have tested it with appliances. I had a problem with the first unit in that the humidity sensor was 8% off compared to two other humidity sensors I had. They shipped a new one to replace at no expense or even having to ship the defective unit back.

Hi. This is the component that regulates your dryer's temperature. If the temperature gets too high (possible restricted vent, too much lint, etc.) the thermo fuse burns open thus stopping electrical current and the dryer.

There is only one sensor and it is inside the unit. I don't think this is meant to be outside, it mounts on the wall in the drywall. Whatever is wired to it will turn on when the set humidity is high enough and off when the humidity level drops to the set humidity.

That means your room is clean. Try to use hair spray near the machine. It should detect right away. The sensor is in the back btw.

My suggestion is to leave the unit operating in a closed space, with a door (a bathroom is good for this), for a couple of hours. then check if there is visible vapor. It your living space is exceedingly dry (especially if you have electric heating), the water vapor emitted will evaporate very rapidly after coming off the transducer. It takes a while for the relative humidity in the space being humidified to be high enough for water vapor to be visible.

have no idea - plugged in wall...check! turn timer on... check! water turns to steam within minutes.. check! possible problem with your machine and may have to send back

No if you have a vent door on the out side of the house, it opens when you use your dryer, closes to keep rain, heat, bugs, small creators, out of the house. Yes the vent trap goes in the dryer vent line near the dryer so you can clean it.
