I have same problem. What can we do to solve it, I tried to find the manual with no success.

The pump isn't submerged, I have mine off aways and the hose/diffuser is on the bottom..

My theory is that your plastic filter is not lined up perfectly. If you screw it in too hard, you can see a space where liquid can escape. It's more on the side than the bottom.

No, not normal. If the water level is where it should be, another thing you may need to look at is whether the water intake vents in the bottom of the pump are clean and free of the slimy "gunk" that can build up. I recommend using an old toothbrush to get into those holes.

Lots of air coming in at the bottom. I use a simple garden hoe to turn mine.

The smoke is probably water vapor...you were pumping down a AC system, right? Mine did the same thing...I've used it several times and always see what looks like "smoke" coming from it...as long as the oil is filled to the level line on the sight glass and you keep it level while it's running, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

Not to sound like captain obvious or anything but perhaps you are putting in to much water? I would play with the levels a bit. I fill it to just below the line and mine come out great every time. It takes some experimenting but is worth it once you get it down. Good luck

The vapor pads sits right down through the top of base, sits over the two little white plastic posts the sit right on the base, then put the plastic part were you put your mouth. It just sits there. I hope this helps, keep me informed if it doesn't help you.

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

This happened to me too, but in my case I just wiggled the tank so that more water pours into the lower reservoir and the mist stopped coming out the sides.

I'm assuming you had something hot inside. That is not normal. It normally means you've lost the insulating capability of the unit. I believe these are vacuum sealed. It sounds like you've lost that seal.

The same thing is happening to me. I noticed since last night that the fan inside the unit is not working. The vapors just collect at the bottom of the base and stay there. Guess have to open the whole unit and order the kind of computer fan currently used inside that unit.

You did not do anything wrong. My unit worked the first time or two and then leaked from the bottom. I believe the humidifiers are poorly designed.

I'm not sure how that could happen as the water pan is its own separate pan. The juice should come through the tube. Are you putting it together correctly?

There is plenty of airflow coming up from the bottom. This is not an issue.
