why does it just stop even when water tank is full

The unit automatically shuts off when it reaches the desired humidity level - turn the right knob clockwise for more humidity. If this does not work remove and replace the front half of the unit - the electrical connections are sometimes finicky. If this does not work - does your unit need to be cleaned?

It might be the tank valve not opening properly. If you shut off both tanks and release any pressure in the lines and then open a tank valve really, I mean really slow it might help. I think the tank valve thinks there is a major leak and shuts off.

sounds like there might be some kind of obstruction. Not real sure, I never had any problems with mine. Is the tank sitting on the base properly? I use either R/O or distilled water

Hamilton Beach customer service suggested the following: You can try a couple of solutions to help:(1) When the tank is cool and empty, please take a spoon and tap the bottom of it.(2) Please try to push the tank down and verify that it is seated properly in the unit.This worked for us. Ron D

Chances are you have air in the line for your input. Try either filling the canister up with water beforehand or use the hose you use to fill your tank to force water into the input once you'be turned it on.

it uses water to spend an internal power supply and the chemicals in your water has caused the motor to lock up therefore not generating any electricity power the lights mine is making noise now and probably soon. It will stop as well

Most likely you are overfilling the water container. Fill it up to 1/2 inch from the top.

I don't know. I do not have that problem but I empty the tank quite often. Even though I live in a pretty dry climate I still drain the tank every couple weeks.

The tank might need air. Turn off supply to r/o. Expel all water from tank. Put 7 psi of air in tank. Check if valve leaks by putting soapy water on valve.

I've read somewhere else that when they stop making steam, you should turn it off, and empty the tank thoroughly. Then place a newly filled bottle and turn it on. I haven't had a problem with mine, but I did remember that from other reviews.

Just close the top and it will stop...if not, send it back and have it replaced...Mine never has had that problem...I hope this help you

Yes. When the float rises it triggers the water pump to stop filling because the tank is full.

The troubleshooting section of the manual lists the following 5 points to check: 1) Is the water tank filled? 2) The steam nozzle could be blocked. There are instructions in the manual for cleaning / freeing it. 3) Despite the green light being on, the switch could not be all the way engaged. Press down the switch completely. 4) There is a tube in the water container that may not be properly immersed. Shake the cleaner gently to make sure the tube is fully immersed. 5) There is a dial that regulates the amount of steam. It is easy to accidentally rotate this dial, shutting off the steam. Check to be sure it is open.If all else fails, call their number (1-800-551-6299) and ask for help. Good luck.

System has auto off when water level is low. Best way is to refill before each usage. Tank is large and should last all night.

It Does Stop But Depending On The Amount Of Hardness Of Your Input Water Seems To Affect The Rejection Rate And It Runs A Bit More Than What I Actually USE. So I Seem To Use More Water Overall.

A friend of mine had an issue with the nozzle at the back of the tank breaking off. Is your unit leaking water? If so, look at the nozzle that plugs into the back of your tank. It may be cracked or broken. Hope this helps.

Mine does have a tiny amount of water remaining but not nearly as much as you have. I don't know if that mean there is something wrong. Perhaps try it running on the intermittent timer compare it to running it continuous.
