Possible Causes

Cracked water tank, Worn tank cap gasket, Misaligned tank, Overfilled tank, Hairline crack in base water reservoir

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the humidifier and move it to a sink or waterproof surface before inspection.

Steps:

  • Tank inspection: Remove the tank, fill it over a sink, and check for leaks from seams or the bottom. Replace the water tank if cracked.
  • Cap and gasket: Inspect the tank cap and rubber gasket for wear, cracks, or deformation. Replace the tank cap gasket if it does not seal properly.
  • Base reservoir: With the tank removed, add a small amount of water to the base reservoir and check for leaks. A cracked base may require replacing the entire base assembly.
  • Proper seating: Ensure the tank sits flat and fully engages the base valve.
