jodil Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 This is located on a water line going to the humidifier a the furnace and its leaking. I dont want to call it a "thingy" in my report so I am hoping for a better term. Image Insert: 39.64 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 The correct term is gizmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 It's about the only thing on a humidifer that will break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 These humidifier solenoids are usually wired to the blower control. When the blower comes on to circulate air through the house, the solenoid opens the line and lets water flow to the humidifier. When the blower shuts down, the "gizmo" cuts the water off.
