My vortex just blows out cold air. What am I doing wrong

Try turning the thermostat controller all the way to the right. Otherwise call Vornado customer service, most of the machines have a 2-3 year warranty.

It may be overheated. Mine did this sometimes after it was on for a long time. Try turning it off and giving it time to cool.

Mine recently started doing the same thing, after working great for a couple years. Opened it up & found the thermostat had disintegrated. Turn it upside down (not plugged in!!!) and listen for objects rolling around. If so, your thermostat has likely died too. There's no good fix, other than bypassing the thermostat - which is a home-fire hazard. Sorry, you'll probably have to trash it (unless it's still under warranty)

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud ! You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees ! I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

The internal fan is broken, same with mine. Opened it up and its a cheap computer fan. I replaced it for 4 dollars at a computer store and it works. If you're under warranty, send it back or take the risk and replace the fan.Good luck

You need something like this pulling air in through the bottom: http://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Powerfans-4-In-line-Fan/dp/B000OM87Q8 Use a dust shroom like this to keep dust from getting in your room: http://www.amazon.com/Horti-Control-DS4-Dust-Shroom/dp/B0046USI3Q/ref=sr_1_4?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1401755855&sr=1-4&keywords=dust+shroom Also attach one on the top of the Aviditi, pulling air OUT through your lights (if you are using inline lighting solutions like the Hydrofarm Daystar AC hood). Make sure you also use a dust shroom on the intake of that as well, so you don't get dust in your light fixture. If you are simply using a Hydrofarm T5 Fluorescent solution, however, just suck the air out directly with that 4 inch vortex (again, make sure you are using a dust shroom so you don't blow dusty air all over whatever area you are keeping this Aviditi in). Hope that helps!

There shouldn't be any air coming out when it's not attached to anything, you should contact the seller. Maybe one of the safety valves, pressure gauge, or fill port is loose?

It's one of the actuators, there are two. If you replaced the control panel listed here already then this is the problem. If driver is blowing cold then you likely replaced the wrong actuator. http://www.sparkys-answers.com/2009/09/2004-chevrolet-tahoe-blows-hot-air.html?m=1

Make sure the blue plugs are together for cooling. Otherwise you might have to send in for a new plug

Possible defective motor winding or your ice was still to cold (wait the 15 min. before blending) Return it for warranty if it happens again.

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

we went thru everything. finally retbloc which urned it to the company and reported the lurex was installed incorrectly which blocked the exhaust port. the net was also full. these two items contributed to the igniter not receiving ample airflow. since the weather has turned chilly, we haven't set it up to see if that resolved the problem.

I had the same issue but I had to adjust the external air baffle and now it works great. The external air baffle is right under the regulator.

Hi Mike, I didn't have this problem but make sure all your crimps at the connections are tight. Also make sure your stainless steel radiator probe is positioned near the radiator inlet or upper hose as it may be. It should be pretty straightforward and maybe the module itself is defective. Good luck I'm sure you'll figure it out. By the way these fans do a great job and I've noticed no heating problem since the installation in fact it almost runs too cool.Dan

Count on zeroing it again, plan on returning this sight, I returned three to cabelas before buying a vortex sparc and never having issues again

I just assembled mine and tried it as well, the vapor is coming out the bottom, I tried the wiggle technique, but still no help. I emailed the company but guess I won't hear back until Monday.

Just got one on Tuesday 2/9/10. Same buzzing problem, but found out it was getting some type of interference from our space heater. Look for something that may be causing the same thing in your home. We turned off the space heater and now we're colder, but NO BUZZING. Hope this helps!
