I'm not sure if mine is working correctly.Should I see white steam vapors rising from top vent? Also not sure if uv light is working,don't see light.

Yes that's normal seeing vapors from the vent your humidifier is working properly also you see a orange light on that means your uv light is burned and you need to replace it

I have not turned mine on yet this year, but the vapor is normal since it is warm vapor. I don't believe you see the UV light. There is an indicator light on the front that when lite you need to replace the UV light. (see page 4 of the instructions). I had my original for 5 years and never had to replace the light. Hope this helps.

I didn't see the steam vapors from the vent, either. However, the water in the tank is vaporized. The light is only on when it needs to be replaced, I think.

I can't always see the steam and it runs blowing air if no steam so that may be what you're seeing. You should see the indicator lights on the front while power is on. While running I can't see the glow of the UV light. So if the reservoir empties, its working. I hope that helps you!

The oscillator is likely broken. I had the same problem. The fan was working, but no vapor. I called Venta directly and he told me to take the cartridge out and try again. Still got no vapor. He said it was the oscillator. It was just over 1yr old, but I had only used it a total of about 4 mos the previous season so it was out of warranty and I was out of luck. I had one previously for almost 6 years and it worked great. I wouldn't trust this model anymore. To expensive for a one year warranty when so many seem to fail.

I wish I could tell you. I waited over a month for it to be shipped and it never worked. It turned on but never produced steam. The company is shipping me a new one this week so once I get the new I can let you know. I believe it is on the warm side.

I don't think so. Mine continues to produce steam until the timer goes off. Sounds like a malfunction. I guess maybe make sure it's got enough water (seems obvious, I know). Other than that I'd call the company!

Mine glows throughout when it's on full heat. Not sure if yours in defective, maybe it only glows half-way if it's on a lower level?

I had the same thing. It was dirty... Use white vinegar to clean the water reservoir and fan. Replug in, place in the reservoir tank filled. It should work. These need new filters about every three months because they filter alot of air, its amazing whats in our air..especially if you keep a window open... Hope this helps.

I think you have a faulty humidifier. Mind did the same thing. So I emptied it and started all over. I did not leak again but the vapor did not come out of the top funnel, it came out of the seam in the bottom of the humidifier. I returned the item.

I think it is just humidity but I will try and check that on the unit tomorrow and let you know.

If your elements are still lit up and it stays hot, there must be a problem with it. Mine does neither of those things. I'd return it, I think :).

Make sure its set to a steam setting. This is indicated by the heavier marking on the setting dial. If its not on a steam setting, you won't get steam.

I agree with the other comments. I would set the timer and the switch for the steam. Wait for the steam to start and that's it. If that doesn't work, then there is a problem with your steamer.

Difficult to tell. Check the wwater reservoir connecton with machine. Also make sure you drained the stam out throug wand. There is a valve that prevents water from coming out when steam is present. I.e there is preasure build up.

When it is on, there is a soft blue light. It turns red when it is empty. Also, no vapor will be coming out of the top (you can feel when it does/doesn't)

You need to let steam really get going before using. Red indicator on fill tank (button) needs to come on and make sure you've stepped on lever to get steamer heating (green indicator light).

Not sure about your take on profusely. But yes mine steams as well. Make sure the door is closed all the way. If it's open even 1/8 of an inch it will make a big difference.

Make sure the tubing/vent openings are clear and clean. Use distilled water as directed, and change the water bottle, which may be helpful.

sounds like your heat is to high. I set mine at 5 out of 10 on an 1100 watt micro for 15min let sit for 5 min in micro then take out oven vent for 5 min before I open to serv
