How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the humidifier and remove it from any electrical devices or outlets nearby. Mop up spilled water immediately.
Steps:
- Inspect tank: Remove the tank and check for visible cracks or seam leaks by filling it over a sink and observing for drips.
- Check cap gasket: Inspect the rubber gasket on the tank cap for cracks or deformation; replace if damaged.
- Proper filling: Do not overfill beyond the indicated maximum line.
- Seat tank correctly: Reinstall the tank carefully, ensuring it is level and fully seated on the base.
Note: Replace the tank if any structural cracks are found; adhesives are not a reliable long‑term repair for pressurized water tanks.
