He has his air set at 80 degrees and the humidistat set at 75%. We turned down the humidistat to 50% and the air down to 78 degrees and everything went back to normal after a day or so.
YES!! 75% is too high of a setting. The instructions that came with our humidistat recommended 60% and we have had no mold issues at all at that setting. Air is set at 80 degrees.
