Why is my Objecto W7 (Model HW-36DK) humidifier leaking from the bottom of the water tank, and is it compatible with the Elecameier B08TBZ1RNK parts?

Based on your description, it appears your humidifier is missing the water tank cap or the internal spring-loaded valve/seal that prevents water from flowing out until the tank is seated on the base. For the Elecameier B08TBZ1RNK (which shares a similar design), the manual specifies that you must "unscrew the water tank cap at the bottom of the tank" to fill it and "securely screw the cap back onto the water tank" to prevent leaks.Regarding your specific questions:Is this the same product? While the Objecto W7 and Elecameier B08TBZ1RNK share a very similar tower-style ultrasonic design, they are marketed by different brands. Internal components like the tank cap threading or the diameter of the valve may differ slightly between brands even if the exterior looks identical.Replacement Parts: Manuals+ does not sell parts directly. If the water is pouring out immediately upon filling, you are likely missing the Tank Cap with Gasket. For the Objecto W7, we recommend contacting Objecto directly at (800) 338-1776 or visiting their official website to ensure you get the exact cap designed for the HW-36DK model.Troubleshooting Steps:Check the bottom of your water tank for a circular opening. If there is no cap covering this hole, the unit will leak immediately.If the cap is present, check for a rubber O-ring or gasket inside the cap. If this seal is missing or cracked, water will bypass the threads.Ensure the tank is seated firmly and level on the base; if it is tilted, the valve may stay open and cause the base reservoir to overflow.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your humidifier, and to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.

Daily Maintenance:

Empty and rinse the water tank and water basin daily.
Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or refilling.

Weekly Cleaning:

Unplug: Always unplug the humidifier before cleaning.
Disassemble: Remove the mist nozzle and water tank from the base.
Clean Water Tank:
- Unscrew the cap at the bottom of the water tank.
- Pour 1 cup (240ml) of white vinegar into the tank and swirl to coat the interior.
- Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour to loosen mineral buildup.
- Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub the interior. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until the vinegar smell is gone.
Clean Water Basin:
- Carefully pour 1 cup (240ml) of white vinegar into the water basin (the bottom part of the unit).
- Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the heating element and ultrasonic nebulizer.
- Rinse the basin thoroughly with clean water. Do not immerse the base in water.
Clean Essential Oil Tray: Remove the aroma pad and wash it with mild soap and water. Replace the pad if it becomes discolored or hardened.
Dry and Reassemble: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling the humidifier.

Note: While the design is elegant, thorough cleaning of the water tank's interior can be challenging due to its narrow opening. Regular use of distilled water can significantly reduce the need for aggressive scrubbing and prevent mineral buildup.
