The humidifier is even simpler. The drain hose is supposed to have water go thorough the humidifier filter inside the housing and then goes to drain when furnace is on. ! D3 t' { M2 {. r0 R( E' {2 A' M# j/ G5 I; J
If there is no crack at the housing connector, just re-do the connection when the furnace is off. * h0 d4 g: d# s2 G0 @1 C $ ~: O p8 [+ `' rNot a big issue..
