Common solutions for: Humidifier not draining
01 - Drain Hose
The drain hose might be kinked or clogged. First check to make sure the drain hose is not kinked between the humidifier and the drain source. If the drain hose is not kinked, then it might be clogged. Unclog the drain hose by removing it from the drain pan and blowing compressed air through it to clear the obstruction.

02 - Water Evaporator Pad
The water evaporator pad might be clogged with calcium and other mineral deposits. Once the water evaporator pad is clogged, the water rides along the top of the pad and drips 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.
