I had the same problem when I started mine about 3 months ago. I had to let all my beads dry out ( can do it with a hair dryer, becareful, use low setting) and now I only keep about 25% wet.

Is your vino almost empty? With too much open air it's really difficult to control the RH. And yes, drying your beads is a good start.

If it is mostly empty, pick up a bunch of empty cedar cigar boxes from your B&M and stick those in there, they can help to regulate it.

I only have 1 lb. of beads in mine and I keep 50% wet or less... and I get a range of 65% to 70% depending on which part of the fridge we're talking about.
