Water drips from unit
We just moved to a house with an Aprilaire Humidifier 600. When the Air Conditioner is ON the Humidifier drips water from the unit. We have tried cleaning the tubes that connect but it still dripping ALOT of water. It is set on Summer mode. Is this dripping normal?

No - it sounds like the fill valve, which is operated electrically, is leaking and probably needs to be replaced. If there is a separate water shut off valve for the humidifier, turn it off and see if the dripping stops. You are correct in that the humidifier should not operate in the summer. You will need to turn off the water to the humidifier to replace the valve. Also look for any other leaks in the tubing connected to the valve.
While you're there, check the unit for scaling and also check the pad or wheel - it probably needs to be replaced too.
Lift the frontup2 inches should drain out back if not blocked
