How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit immediately if water is leaking near electrical parts. Dry the area thoroughly before reuse.

  • 1. Inspect tank for cracks:
    • Remove the tank, dry it, and look for hairline cracks, especially near the handle and bottom seam.
  • 2. Check tank cap and gasket:
    • Unscrew the tank cap and inspect the rubber O‑ring.
    • Replace the O‑ring if it is flattened, cracked, or missing.
  • 3. Verify cap tightness:
    • Refill the tank, tighten the cap firmly, and invert over a sink to check for drips.
  • 4. Level placement:
    • Place the humidifier on a flat, level surface.
    • Avoid moving or tilting the unit while full.
  • 5. Replace tank if needed:
    • If the tank is cracked or continues to leak, replace it with a genuine Crane replacement tank for your model.
