Default Re: This Is Why My Wineador Leaked

I have never plugged my unit in and it has maintained RH levels between 62 and 67% and the temp remains steady between 65-70 degrees.

I always thought that plugging the unit in could dry out the sticks and cause RH issues (but not wet or condensation issue like here). Is there a reason that my unit should be plugged in other than temp control (if required) ?
I keep mine plugged in from around March-October but only because it gets so hot here that even with the AC set at 72 the temp in the room where my wineador is hits 75. So during the warm months I keep it running at 66 degrees.
