Contact the original manufacturer and file a request for service or call a professional.

Fill the tank with the appropriate amount of water and then try again.

First set the mode according to the requirements then wait for the humidifier to give out more steam.

Due to impurities in water some minerals which do not evaporate get attached to the heating element. Clean the heating element or replace it with a new one.

The faulty fan may be the cause for the steam to not escape the chamber. Check the fan's configuration or contact a professional and get it replaced.

First fix the tank on the body properly as if it is not done properly some water may leak from the tank outlet.

Due to the vibrations of the humidifier, the water may have spilled over the top. Reduce the quantity of water and try again.

The water leak may be due to the crack. Contact the original manufacturer and file a request for service or call a professional and get it fixed.
