Mine did too, I called company and they sent me a new humidifier very quickly and new one is working fine.

My remote doesn't work well either. Hit adn miss as to if the humidifier receives the signal even with direct line of sight. It frequently registers an entirely different humidity than the humidifier, even when set on top of the humidifier for "calibration". I wouldn't bother with the remote - get some exercise, walk over and adjust the fan or shutoff humidity.

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.

I noticed an interesting odor when I first started operating the humidifier however that subsided within a day or so. Almost smelled like new plastic if that makes sense. Hope this helps!

Some humidifiers will not turn back on when power is turn back on. You can test this. With the humidifier running, unplug it from the wall. When you plug it back in, does it start right away? If it does not, you will want a different humidifier. I actually had the same plan and had to get a different humidifier.

I would make sure the electrical outlet works - plug a light or something in it. If the unit won't even light up, it's defective/broken. If it's the condenser(?) motor that doesn't start, try reducing the desired humidity with the down arrow as low as it will go.

You need to fill up your water tank once again when you see the "F" show up. Don't forget to add the bacteriostatic agent so you don't grow any mold. Good luck. I love my humidifier and it is wonderful to have a much moister environment. Arlene.

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.

While the internal humidifier will work, I recommend purchasing an electric/battery operated model. They are much less work, and I add water about once every 3 weeks. I set the humidity level I want, and it does the rest, removing the guess work.

Have you tried adding a pinch of salt to the water? The humidifier requires water with minerals in it to function properly. If you have "soft water" (little or no minerals) it wont work. The humidifier uses two electrical posts and passes a current between them to heat the water quickly and produce steam. Pure water is not conductive and the current cannot pass from one post to the other. Adding salt to the water provides the necessary minerals to make the water capable of carrying an electrical current. It should produce visible steam within 5 minutes.

I have had my humidifier for three years now and have never had a problem. I think if it were mine I would clean it very,very well with bleach then use water conditioner they sell for them I use the little blue ball and water conditioner both.

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid.It's kinda like that floral sponge meteralit depends on if your using distilled water or Glycol Solution but every couple weeks or when it starts to dry out (depends on how well the humidor was seasoned)id recommend getting a digital hygrometer and getting 72% boveda humi-packs (only have to change them out every two months or so)do some looking in to them they work great for me.

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.

The answer by "brbrigs" is correct! I just received mine in the mail and set it up and there was no mist coming out. Apparently I filled my tank with too much water and it looked like the basin at the base was a huge pool of water. I dumped that out and poured a few cups of water out of the tank. I restarted the humidifier and there is a strong mist coming out now! Try that. I think it'll work.

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.

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.
