Humidifier not draining

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.

02 - Humidifier Drain Pan

The outlet of the humidifier drain pan may be clogged with mineral deposits. To clear the drain outlet the front panel or housing can be removed to access the port to the drain hose. Use a small Flathead screwdriver to gently clear the deposits from the pan outlet. In some cases, the pan can be removed from the unit for clearing & cleaning.

03 - Humidifier 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.
Highly Likely

04 - Clogged Drain Hose

A clogged drain hose will prevent the humidifier from draining. You can use compressed air to help clear the obstruction, but you may need to replace the drain hose with a new one to fully resolve the issue.
Highly Likely

05 - Humidifier Water Panel Distribution Tray

The water distribution tray sits at the top of the water evaporator pad. It is designed to direct the flow of water over the evaporator pad so that the water drips evenly into the pad. If the distribution tray is out of place, clogged, or cracked, water will not drip into the water evaporator pad.
Highly Likely

06 - Clogged Water Tray Outlet Port

A clogged water tray can prevent the humidifier from properly draining. If the obstruction cannot be cleared, the water tray should be replaced with a new one to resolve the issue.
