The first night after complete disassembly and cleaning of the ISS, the temperature and humidity worked through the night. Still, I wasn't too hopeful the problem was resolved.
I had done some research and found this website: https://www.manula.com/manuals/pws/davis-kb/1/en/topic/general-please-read
This is not a Davis site, but I believe a UK reseller of Davis products. But they have supplied a good amount of information, better in many ways than Davis.
They indicate that a temperature/Humidity Sensor has an average life of about 5 years, less if near the ocean. They also say with maintenance, a Davis weather station can expect to last about 10 years with some maintenance.
Interesting that other than replacing the super capacitor once for a failure, my other failure was the console, always indoors and out of the weather.
Since my anemometer seems to be performing better with some lubrication, I decided to order a new temperature/humidity sensor. I'm sure I will also need a ISS Cover/Solar cell in the near future. Hopefully no other failures for a few years.
