Humidifier leaks water around or under the base

Safety: Unplug the humidifier and remove it from any electrical items or furniture that could be damaged by water.

Steps:

• Inspect tank: Remove the tank and check for cracks or damage, especially around the base and handle. Replace the water tank if cracked.
• Check seals: Examine the tank cap O‑ring and any gaskets for wear or deformation. Replace if flattened or cracked.
• Valve alignment: Ensure the tank valve or stopper operates smoothly and seals properly when the tank is inverted.
• Do not overfill: Fill only to the indicated maximum level.
• Base inspection: Check the base for residual water and dry thoroughly before reassembly.
