I threw mine away when it quit working. It put out so little moisture that I felt it wasn't worth it.

on my particular humidifier, the fan portion lifts up exposing the filter. the filter is then picked up out of a pan and you will replace it with a new one in the same spot. The filter will be wet when you pull it so be careful not to drip on floors that you may not want wet. Good luck

I bought a crane drop humidifier last year and it just died after a few months. Too bad I liked it, but I will never buy another.

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.

What is the warranty for my Aprilaire humidifier? Aprilaire humidifiers carry a 5-year limited warranty on parts from the date of installation, when installed by a licensed HVAC installer. If not, the warranty is void. Found the above on Aprilaire website.

I put the drops of essential oil in with the water. I've only had mine for about a month and I've not had to clean it yet. I've noticed it stays cleaner than the last humidifier we had. I don't think there was a warranty but I am not positive.

Just remember, as with any humidifier, there will be some cleaning involved. No humidifier (that I know of) is completely maintenance free.Another big suggestion is to oil the bearings in the motor. This requires some mechanical skill and some light motor oil, but I have been running the same motors 24/7 for 6 years with no breakdowns. The only problem I have is with the finger gearbox thingy, which seems to just start stripping after about 2 years (took the first one apart to try to fix it; it is plastic and there is no fix); but I get free replacements from Venta, so no worries there...

There was a recall on this item from the manufacture. It was starting fires. You hade to cut off the cord, to include the safety sticker and pry the serial number off the back of the unit and send it in with a self addressed envelope for a refund. I did all of this and have never heard anything back. No money, no refund, nothing, except a humidifier that causes fires. You might want to call the manufacture and check on the recall.

Be sure to check your humidistat setting & remember the unit operates automatically beyond a +/- 5% variance from that setting. Also be sure to check tank fill level that isn't getting tripped somehow. If these two tips don't help I'd contact PerfectAire customer service.

Now I am getting a little confused myself. I found out that there are other FPA models that provide a humidifier function too... Sorry, not much help.

No. I brought mine out for the third season and the humidifier would not turn on.

It's a calcium build up. It'll disable your humidifier altogether if not it's not regularly cleaned. When I first bought the humidifier, I also bought a solution that was supposed to help keep calcium buildup at bay. It didn't. So now I clean the humidifier once a month by letting the heating mechanism soak overnight (or while I'm at work) in vinegar.It works like a dream. This was my boyfriend's suggestion, so I can't take credit for it. But I'll swear on a stack of humidifiers that it works each and every time.

The Crane humidifier has a Limited Warranty. Warranty requires a Dated Proof of Purchase. The warranty is void if the defect is due to accidental damage, misuse, abuse etc,etc.The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear or commercial use. Hope this answer has helped you.

We had 2 Crane Drop Humidifiers. First broke after 20 uses, and the replacement died after first use (start dripping water from base). I am considering this one, too.

Purchased my humidifier in Nov 2014. Cleaned and replaced everything I should EXCEPT I went for value and used the replacement granules rather than buying the whole cartridge. My humidifier hasn't worked right since. The 'refilling' part was easy - really easy but it shuts off and the 'cleaning' light always comes on after a few minutes of use. I called Air-O-Swiss and he suggested taking some of the granules out and I did - still have the same issue. (I did this twice) I'm going to buy the whole replacement cartridge again to see if this fixes the problem - if not I guess I got a crappy unit. Purchased my humidifier in Nov 2014.
