My Air-O-Swiss U7142 has a leak from the very bottom. I found that as long as the water flows on to the "pan" that evaporizes the water, the water will come out from the bottom. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Set it out with the trash — ours did the same thing right out of the box; it's not a drip but a stream! PS, there's nothing to kink. And, of course, if you empty the reservoir, there will be no leak, for there's no water in the thing!
He had a similar problem, the humidifier was leaking. We figured it was from being on an unlevel surface. When we moved it to another location that we thought might be closer to level, the problem was resolved.
Not valid for a V5100. There are no hoses.
I have a similar problem. Water is running down the feed tube into the right side of the humidifier housing and onto the floor. I am ordering a new feed tube and plastic frame for the element. Hope this works.
Replace the gasket
MY BROTHER BOUGH ME VICK COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER, CUZ I SAW HIM, WATER LEAKAG!! DANG!! FILTER WICK WET.... MAYBE I TRY CHANGE VICKS ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER HAS NO FILTER SOON....
Usually they leak at the top of the tank where the handle is! Check for cracks and even fill and place in stopperd sink unside down overnight to see if it's losing water. If it is, replace the tank- they run about 25.00 for the 2.5 gallon size! I just went throught this!
I had the same problem, the humidfier was out of plumb.I ended up slightly bending the top of the duct.
If water drips or pools at the base of your humidifier: 1) Disconnect the power. 2) Check the pan or reservoir and empty it if necessary. 3) Be sure the wick, hose, or other water-delivery system isn't kinked or fouled.
SOURCE: Humidifier Gives Off an Odor
Odors are common because water stagnates in the tank. 1) Unplug the unit. 2) Empty the reservoir, mop up any damp areas, and clean the tank and evaporator belt with a mixture of one gallon water. Add 2 tablespoons of chlorine bleach to the water for stubborn smells.

Most water panels are generally replaced once a year on flow through humidifiers.

I have the same problem and I have 2 of them fairly new. I can't seem to find out what the problem is either.

I am missing something. I have 3 hard pieces and 1filter. When I unpluged the cord the leaking started. Then I removed the filter and not than, but later that day all of the water leaked out. If you can, I need some directions please. When I leave home and have unpluged the cord what do I do next to keep the water in the tank.Vicks V3500
