Mine is no longer producing any mist and the light keeps flashing? Any suggestions?

If you cleaned it you may have damaged the little silver disk on the bottom. I don't think there is a fix. I would let it dry out completely, then the next day fill it up again and let it sit for a few hours before you try turning it on again. I have had 1 break because I was not gentle enough when cleaning it. If there is a fix for damaging the little silver disk, I don't know what it is. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Is the tank full? If yes, it is time to change the water filter. To troubleshoot: remove the water filter (it unscrews from the tank lid) and try without the filter. If it works fine the filter is clogged and needs to be replaced. These filters become slower with time and after a few months of heavy use they don't let through enough water to keep up with the needs of the humidifier. This year, I had two of those filters be bad right out of the package (they did not let through enough water even when new) and I had to exchange them for new ones (thanks Amazon for making this so easy!). By the way: it is perfectly fine to operate the humidifier without the filter, at least temporarily, but there is more white dust on all surfaces when there is no filter installed and the silver ions in the filter keep the tank from getting all slimy and stinky.

The flashing light means it is empty...or not level...or perhaps needs to be cleaned. I have noticed that after I efill mine, it needs to set for a mniute or two before it starts working again, as if the water needs to settle inside.

When I got mine out this winter it was doing the same thing but I had put new filters on it and think them weren't soaked yet. I changed the water and restarted it and the thing has been working ever since so that is all the help I can be.

Yes. Turn off. Clean metal sonic plate with tip. Also replace or remove filter on screw on lid. Use cold filtered water. Hope this helps. Mine is still going strong.

The light started flashing in mine as well -- still worked though and I couldn't find where I put my manual. We completely emptied it out because we were going out of town for a week. When we returned it was working normally! Try emptying it and refilling, I read somewhere that the 'float' may not be working right, and thinks the machine is empty.

I have had mine since October. It does not work well. The auto shut off does not work and I have to go over and shake it around a bit to continue the mist. I would not recommend buying this particular diffuser.

Never had that problem. Mine is still working. I would contact the manufacturer. Maybe it needs to be reset.

You might need to hold the mist button longer. I sometimes have to do that with my light button.

I had the same problem... within the first week. Packed it up and sent it back for a refund.This is my second Venta humidifier. My first one lasted three years with daily use. I loved it. Would not buy another.

Yes I had the same problem and ditched it and found a better humidifier. Our unit leaked from the very same spot. Other people have had the problem. We've had this one for about 6 months: Crane Drop Shape Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier with 2.3 Gallon output per day and it seems to be working well. No filters. It's a little bit of a pain to clean, but a little bleach solution and voila, it's clean. For our needs, this has been a much better humidifier and NO LEAKS!!!!

There are 3different mists settings. They last around 1hr on high, 2-3 on med, and 4 on low. However mine only lasted 2months before going kooky & breaking down.

My unit does mist and does not bubble. Might want to contact the manufacturer on this one. When you find out please let us know. Good luck.

I'm not sure what the problem could be, I have not had any problems like that. Be sure the mist does not come too close to furniture or any thing else. Other than that, I really don't know what it could be.

Dave, ours did the same thing. We figured it was the lamp going out so we purchased a new one and our problems were solved, its such and easy and inexpensive fix to just buy a new lamp. Hope this helps.

when its empty it will not produce the cool mist and inside, the tank will show a little red light. I usually leave it on in my bedroom while i sleep at night and only fill it up every other day.

No mist for me either. Think the membrane is broken when no mist comes out. This happened to me before. sent the unit back and received replacement. same thing happened again, I just tossed it and got another model.

Yeah I had it happen. Water catches and then light stays on. Try tapping it or letting a little water run off til it clears.

Try cleaning with vinager, trying running it thru the brewing cycle. If that doesn't work, send it back. I didn't have that problem with mines.

I'd contact the manufacturer or get Amazon to do that for you. First try unplugging it and starting over like it is new. It is designed to automatically shut off when it runs out of water and mine has done so probably a hundred times already since I've owned it. I just put more water in and away it goes again. Make sure you don't put too much essential oil in it - that can clog the works and you can run vinegar through a steam cycle once and a while to keep it clean and functioning properly. Wipe out with clean cloth or paper towel - don't let water get near the base or plug in (make sure water never overflows when you are filling it).

Make sure that the little rubble black thing is solidly inside the opening in the back above the usb connection. If you have used it before, sediment may be clogging the tiny little hole where the mist comes out. I use a paperclip or something else that is slightly sharp to scrape across the hole to clear it. Usually this takes care of the problem and it will start misting after about 5 to ten minutes.

I would return it. Mine worked well for about 3 days and started doing it. It hasn't worked since. It seems like a lot of people are having issues with these humidifiers.
