SUPER helpful. My Humidifier had begun leaking water due to calcium build up around the drain hole, and in the hose. I removed the filter, but wasn't sure about the top piece orientation. This video brought piece of mind because I've been stressing whether I put the top cover to the pad on backwards or not.

This is super helpful. Thank you! My AC stopped working in 99F heat today, and "replace humidifier pad" was one of the error codes that came up on the thermostat

My furnace is different. Rather than a humidistat control everything i controlled by the high tech thermostat which also controls the humidity. It does that by automatically adding water based on the THI set. Aside from that this was helpful in showing how to replace the filter.

Hi, there is a black mark on my humidifier pad, should I place it on top or at bottom? Thanks.

[htoobway]

What if I don’t have the mark on my panel? Like no color mark

Are there different filters for the horizontal and vertical mounted models? The honeycomb on my old filter ran up/down relative to my unit, but the new filter honeycomb runs left/right.

Hi! Thanks for the video! I’m trying to figure out what model my humidifier is. I can’t find any numbers. It’s a Trane humidifier on a Trane xl80 furnace. Any recommendations on how to find the model #? TIA!
