Humidifier overflowing

01 - Humidifier 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.

Highly Likely

02 - Humidifier 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

03 - 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

04 - Humidifier Filter Holder

On some flow-through style humidifiers, a filter holder secures the top of the wick filter or water evaporator pad and channels the incoming water through the filter or pad. If the filter holder is clogged with mineral deposits or damaged, the incoming water can easily overflow. Inspect the filter holder for obstructions or damage and replace with a new one if necessary.
Highly Likely

05 - Humidifier 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.
