There is an orifice regulating flow which may be clogged with minerals. Or inlet control not operating.

Possible causes:
Water supply off.
Solenoid not receiving electrical signal to open.
Solenoid bustimicated.
Outlet orifice clogged with mineral deposits.
Caveat: experience with another aprilaire unit, and I didn't look up your unit specifically.

unit specifically.
There is also a fine screen filter on the incoming side of the solenoid. But to get it out, you usually wind up trashing it, so you should have a spare. Arnold Service Co on the internet sells them as well as the orifice. I'd start by measuring the voltage on the solenoid, or listening for it to click.
Bummer.
