There is water leaking from the bottom of the humidifier.
Water may be leaking from the bottom of the HoMedics CMTF91 humidifier if it is placed on an uneven or unstable surface, or if it is on a material that can be damaged by moisture. It is recommended to place a waterproof base under the humidifier. Additionally, ensure that the water tank is properly seated on the base and that there are no cracks or damages in the tank.

CO code showing. What to do.
The humidifier is on but doesn't run.
The HoMedics CMTF91 humidifier may be on but not running due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Low Water Level: The water tank may be empty or below the required level. Refill the tank if needed.
2. Dirty Ultrasonic Membrane: The transducer or ultrasonic membrane may be dirty. Clean it with a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
3. Humidity Setting Too Low: The humidistat may be set below the current room humidity. Raise the setting or switch to continuous mode.
4. Old Water or Dirty Tank: Old or stagnant water can affect operation. Empty, clean, and refill the tank with fresh water.
5. Red Light Indicator: If the red light is on, reset it by holding the clean indicator button for 3 seconds.
Check and address each of these steps to restore proper operation.
