Common solutions for: Humidifier overflowing

01 - Water Panel Distribution Tray

On flow-through style humidifiers, a water panel distribution tray rests on top of the wick filter or water evaporator pad to channel the incoming water through the filter or pad. If the distribution tray is clogged with mineral deposits or damaged, the incoming water can easily overflow. Inspect the water panel distribution tray for obstructions or damage and replace with a new one if necessary.

Highly Likely

02 - Clogged Drain Hose

A clogged drain hose can cause the humidifier to overflow. You can try to use compressed air to clear any obstruction, but the drain hose may have to be replaced with a new one to fully resolve the issue.

Highly Likely

03 - Water Evaporator Pad

Flow-through style humidifiers channel the water through a vertical water evaporator pad. If the water evaporator pad is clogged with calcium or other mineral deposits, the water will ride along the top of the pad and drip down outside of the water collection tray at the bottom. If water does not exit properly check the water evaporator pad and replace as needed.

Common

04 - Clogged or Damaged Water Evaporator Pad

If the water evaporator pad is clogged or damaged it will need to be replaced. The water evaporator pad should be replaced at least once a year but may need replacing every 3 to 6 months depending on the water hardness. Refer to your owner's manual for guidance.

Less Common

05 - Clogged Distribution Tray

The water distribution tray is at the top of the humidifier and helps to distribute the water evenly over the evaporator pad. If the holes in the tray get clogged, water can overflow the tray. Check to see if the holes in the tray are clear or need to be cleaned. Refer to your owners manual for guidance.
