Aprilaire 700 leaks water from bottom of case
Install new water panels yearly. On the new panel make sure that the painted dot on the edge of the panel is on the top when you install it.
Always clean the distribution tray and the frame. Make sure the notch on the edge of the distribution tray faces away from the furnace. Make sure the humidifier was installed level. Keep the drain tube opening clear. Insure there is no blockages in the drain tube.
Good luck

Aprilaire 760 keeps running
Is this a newly installed unit it sounds as if there's a wiring issue. Could you show a picture of the wiring terminals. If this is not a new install try turning of your furnace fan.

Not working
HI, Troubleshooting an Aprilaire Humidifier
Aprilaire, a manufacturer of indoor air quality products including thermostats, air cleaners and dehumidifiers, also offers a line of whole house humidifiers. Installed in your existing heating and cooling system, humidity is produced by a supplied water source that flows over a water panel before being distributed throughout your air through the heating and cooling system. Issues you may need to troubleshoot with your Aprilaire humidifier include error messages and the unit producing too little or too much humidity.
Things You'll Need:
Replacement water panel
Turn down the control dial by one setting if condensation appears on your windows or walls.
Turn up the control dial by one setting if there is a lack of humidity, often indicated by dry skin or peeling wallpaper or paint.
Turn the control dial to "Test/Reset" if the humidifier does not run. Verify the heating and air conditioning unit blower is operating. If the heating and air conditioning unit is not operating or you are unable to resolve the issue contact a heating contractor.
Contact a heating contractor if you turn the control dial to "Off" and the humidifier continues to run.
Contact your Aprilaire dealer (see Resources) if you notice an error code on the display and the "Call Dealer for Service" light flashes.
Turn the control dial to "Off" and turn off the water supply if the yellow "Change Water Panel" light flashes. Lift the front panel off of the humidifier. Slide out the water panel. Insert a new water panel. Replace the front cover. Turn the control dial to "Test/Reset" until the "Humidifier On" light flashes. If you feel uncomfortable changing the water panel, contact a heating contractor.
Tips & Warnings
Purchase replacement water panels through your Aprilaire dealer or a heating contractor.

We had our furnace repair turn on our Aprilaire
I hope this helps you, have the repair person check to see if a furnace filter air freshener was installed at your last furnace check up without your knowledge. Also checked all wall and or floor registers to make sure the source of smell is not coming from them, it may be circulating though the duct system.last thing is to replace media pad in humidifier along with furnace filters, if you have air cleaner wash filters with hot water and baking soda, wipe & let dry before re- installing them. Your repair person may have use a strong smelling cleaning solution in humidifier that is now circulating though out your home, good luck.
Corroded saddle valve
Shut off the main water valve and open some cold water faucets to relieve the pressure. Remove the entire saddle valve and make sure the piercing needle does not remain in the water pipe. Purchase and install a non self-piercing saddle valve and follow the directions. You will need a power drill and 1/4" drill bit for the install. Use teflon tape or paste on the treaded fittings. Test for leaks.
Aprilaire humidifier 110
Hello, typically solenoid valves should be replaced every 7 years and they are not very difficult to replace. Just need to shut off water at saddle valve, turn off power to humidifier, and remove mounting hardware. Here is a link to store which sells the solenoid needed for your humidifier. http://www.aprilairehumidifierparts.com/product.php?p=aprilaire_4005&product=111011&category=1686
Function of HUM terminal on 1Source Panel
That will work, The HUM feeds power to the humidifier when the fan is operating even in cooling on most models, However the humidistat must also be calling for humidity and probally won't call during the cooling months
