Is there any water leakage from the supply water piping?

Is the water supply service valve closed?

Is there any water leakage from the drain piping?

Does the drain piping have a sufficient downward gradient?

Is there any water leaks from inside the unit? (Open the cover to make an internal inspection.)

Is all electrical wiring correctly installed and secured?

Have all pins on the remote controller upper casing unit’s DIP switch been switched OFF?

Has the remote controller casing been replaced and closed again?

Is the humidifier power source’s leakage current circuit breaker turned to the OFF position?
