I have a Goodman high efficient furnace with a carrier humidifier attached to the back. The humidifier wasn't working because the solenoid coil was burned, so I replaced it with a new solenoid. The humidifier has a control panel mounted to the airduct. I'm trying to wire this humidifier up. I do have a 24volt transformer, but no HUM connection on the board. I noticed on the wiring diagram for the furnace it says to wire the humidifier to the C connection on the RYG...etc. I'm lost here. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • I must be missing something in your question, because you indicated it has a humidifier already, and that the transformer was bad which you are/have replaced? It should be wire for wire the same thing.

It looks like the humidifier connections on the board will provide 24V for the humidifier when the furnace is on so I don't know that you need the transformer. Do you know which terminals on the board those are? If not post a photo of the board. I assume the humidistat only has two wires and the humidifier only has two wires, if so then the attached wiring diagram should work. wiring diagram

  • Okay Goose, I found the manual in the upper part of the furnace. It says run one wire with a piggyback to the pressure switch as it gets powered when the furnace kicks on. The other wire will go to common or b/c terminal. Can I just use your wiring diagram? I have the humidifier/solenoid on the furnace. The humidistat control is on the air duct. So I'd run one wire from the humidistat to one side of the solenoid to the furnace p/s, then the other wire connects to the other side of the humidistat; I'd run it to the other side of the solenoid to a 24 vac common?

  • Yes, that's correct. Use my diagram and where I have two wires going to the control board one will go to the pressure switch and the other will go to the C terminal. You might get lucky and the pressure switch may already have a piggyback terminal on it.

  • You may want to check with the manufacturer, they may give a spec for wires.
