I put thicker oils in mine and now I guess it's stopped up. What can I do?

only use distilled water when mixing with your oils. To clean unit which you have to do periodically use straight distilled white vinegar only in the unit for about an hour unplug unit discard unused distilled white vinegar rinse it thoroughly filled with distilled water and your oil plug do you have internet on it should run as good as new good luck.

rinse the entire thing out. Place straight distilled white vinegar into the unit. Run unit with only the distilled vinegar in it for a few hours that should clean it off good luck.

Try using a cotton swab and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to clean it out. And then wash the water canister in really hot soapy water. Rinse out really well and then diffuse just hot water a couple times before adding any other oils. I hope this helps.

I did not have that problem. Try a coat of quality gun oil and wipe it dry see if that helps.

i don't know....does not bother me & i just tried a drop neat. maybe you are sensitive to it. try another oil.

I have not had this problem, however make sure it is not overfilled, and that oil residue is wiped away with a tissue after each use.

wipe out the bits with stiff brush or other similar thing. paper towel for excess oil. the oil can stay on the grill a long time without harm to the next batch. My unit died and I threw it away. Not well made inside I guess.

Hi. I wouldn't say this is "normal" but I just received a bottle from them, and I've experienced the same thing. The oil is pressed from seeds, so I guess it just wasn't filtered properly. I'm going to run it through a coffee filter. That should take care of the problem.

I did not have this trouble but mine was delivered in the upright position. I suggest you clean it carefully and check the oil level and add some if too low. Then check for leaks both before and after running it, Bill M.

I found mine misted properly for shorter & shorter durations over time. I also had something growing in the oil after a while. I hope you have better luck.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

If you can get some oil in the moving parts that might help or you can try to soak in hot water and that might loosen the parts up. I haven't had that problem yet but those are the 2 things I would try first.

I've been using rubbing alcohol, swirling it a bit then emptying. I then invert the glass, and allow it to dry before adding a different oil.

Mine does the same thing, like in the picture here. Is yours opened even more? If so, maybe something needs oiling.

Could be hard water build up. Try wiping it off with a paper towel and apply some food grade mineral oil.

It may be froze up. Spray some WD40 in it and wait a few minutes and turn it with a pair of pliers or vice grips. That should do the trick.

hmmm...I might think about returning it. There was no oil or smell of oil on ours. Makes me think something got spilled on it in the factory or something. Good luck.

Take it to your local service station where you get your oil changed ask them to rid of it of it with there used oil products old oil ,filters and ect

It should come right off. Apply something like WD-40, let it sit for enough time to let the oil work. If the oil hasn't worked tap it with a hammer from different angles to help release it.
