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.3 q+ ^7 e. b+ H" R( Y! L8 K

If there is no crack at the housing connector, just re-do the connection when the furnace is off. ' J5 a) n1 B9 w1 ?1 L( [# }/ y4 Y0 V9 d! }' X b+ J$ m
